The Difference Between Baking Soda and Baking Powder

baking soda and baking powder are both leaveners used in baking, but they are chemically different. The easiest way to explain it is that baking soda is a base—it’s alkaline. Baking powder on the other hand is a mixture of baking soda and a dry acid, such as cream of tartar, and perhaps some corn starch

Substitution

You can substitute baking soda for baking powder, if you increase the amount of acidic ingredients in the recipe to offset the baking soda. You’ll also need much less baking soda as it is 3 times as powerful as baking powder. You’ll need about a teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice for every 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda.
