What’s the primary difference between baking soda and baking powder?

Baking soda needs an acid to activate, while baking powder contains both an acid and a base, making it self-activating.

Can I substitute one for the other?

Yes, but adjustments are needed. For example, if using baking soda instead of baking powder, you’ll need to add an acidic ingredient.

Both are safe in moderation. Excessive baking soda can cause health issues, and aluminum-based baking powders may not suit everyone.

Both can be used to enhance the rise and texture. Experiment with ratios to achieve the desired results.

Absolutely! Combining them can provide a mix of immediate and sustained rise, perfect for recipes requiring specific textures.
