what is baking soda and is there a substitute?

July 16th, 2009 admin

I want to make a red velvet cake and i have baking powder and bi-carb soda, but not baking soda – is it a different product? Or could I use self raising flour instead?

Bi-Carb soda is the same as baking soda, so you’re all set!

Enjoy your red velvet cake. I just bought an extra bottle of red food coloring so I can make one soon!

   Both are leavening agents which means they help baked goods rise.

   I’ve used a home recipe as follows:

   Baking powder, 1 teaspoon:
   1/4 teaspoon baking soda plus 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
