Answer 2

Baking soda, combined with an equal measure of cornstarch and twice as much cream of tartar, can be used to replace baking powder. Use about one quarter the amount of baking soda as the recipe calls for baking powder, and then scale the cornstarch and cream of tartar accordingly. For example, if the recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of baking powder, it can be replaced by ¼ teaspoon of baking soda, ¼ teaspoon of cornstarch and ½ teaspoon of cream of tartar.

Generally speaking, baking powder can not be substituted for baking soda since this will leave excess acidic compounds in the food which may affect flavor, texture and color.

Answer 3

You can substitute the soda only when using buttermilk or sour milk. Otherwise you need the baking powder

Answer 4

YES Baking powder causes it to rise and tastes a lot better.
