Dessert
Baking powder is a ready-made leavening agent in which baking soda and an acid are mixed with starch. When moistened and heated, it releases carbon dioxide, raising cakes and pastries. It is recommended to bake the batter without letting it rest after adding it.
Where It's Used
“Sift baking powder with the flour and mix it into the cake batter without lumps.”
