differences between baking soda and powder
Both baking soda and baking powder are leavening agents, which is a substance, used to produce fermentation in dough or batter. They are added to baking goods before cooking in order to cause them to âriseâ. Although baking powder contains baking soda, both of these agents are used at different conditions. Baking soda is pure sodium bicarbonate whereas baking powder contains sodium bicarbonate and other acidifying and drying agents such as cream of tartar and starch.
