What’s the difference between baking soda and baking powder

Danetta Young

Baking powder is actually baking soda with the addition of a dry acid. When using baking soda you'd need to add an acid like lemon juice or vinegar in order for it to work as a leavener. I learned that from following The Pioneer Woman.

Baking powder is typically a blend of baking soda and cream of tartar
