Cookbook by

~Rita~

From my favorite cheesecake to my Mom`s Favorite chocolate cake. When using baking powder it needs to go into the oven quickly after being mixed. If batters sit at room temperature before baking, the baking powder will keep reacting and the carbon dioxide produced can't be captured by the unbaked batter. Baking powder and baking soda are two very different ingredients. Baking powder is baking soda mixed with another ingredient. Baking soda needs to be combined with an acidic ingredient like vinegar or lemon juice. Each produces carbon dioxide. (carbon dioxide is very safe. It's what makes baked goods rise!) Don't pack the baking powder in the spoon - spoon it into the measuring spoon and level off as for flour.
