Baking soda and baking powder are both leavening agents. What is a leavening agent? It is an ingredient that produces a gas which causes batters and doughs to rise. Baking soda is simply sodium bicarbonate, which does not have any leavening capabilities by itself. It is only when baking soda is mixed with an acid such as sour cream, molasses, lemon juice, or buttermilk that these gases are released. Because these gases start forming right after the baking soda and acid are mixed, batters using baking soda should be baked immediately after mixing.
Baking powder actually consists of baking soda and an acid, usually cream of tartar, calcium acid phosphate, sodium aluminum sulfate, or a mixture of the three. Double-acting baking powder, the most common type, is usually made up of baking soda, sodium aluminum sulfate, calcium acid phosphate, and cornstarch which is used as a drying agent. It is called double-acting baking powder because it has two rising actions. The first time the mixture rises is when a liquid comes in contact with the baking powder, and the second time is when the batter is exposed to heat. This makes it possible to mix the ingredients ahead of time and to bake the dough whenever it is convenient.

It ability baking soda... not pop or a delicate drink. the version between the two is: the two baking soda and baking powder are leavening brokers, meaning they are further to baked products in the previous cooking to produce carbon dioxide and cause them to 'upward push'. Baking powder includes baking soda, yet the two components are used below distinctive situations. Baking Soda Baking soda is organic sodium bicarbonate. while baking soda is mixed with moisture and an acidic element (e.g., yogurt, chocolate, buttermilk, honey), the ensuing chemical reaction produces bubbles of carbon dioxide that improve below oven temperatures, inflicting baked products to upward push. The reaction starts off at modern-day upon mixing the climate, so which you will bake recipes which call for baking soda at modern-day, in the different case they'll fall flat! Baking Powder Baking powder includes sodium bicarbonate, whether it contains the acidifying agent already (cream of tartar), and additionally a drying agent (often starch). Baking powder is obtainable as unmarried-performing baking powder and as double-performing baking powder. unmarried-performing powders are activated by using moisture, so which you will bake recipes which contain this product at modern-day after mixing. Double-performing powders react in 2 stages and could stand for a on the same time as in the previous baking. With double-performing powder, some gasoline is released at room temperature while the powder is further to dough, yet maximum human beings of the gasoline is released after the temperature of the dough will advance interior the oven.

I am not really sure, but baking soda gives things a weird taste when you use it in baking. I would go with the powder!

Aside from their names:
bak·ing powder (bā'kĭng)
n.
A mixture of baking soda, starch, and at least one slightly acidic compound such as cream of tartar that works as a leavening agent in baking by releasing carbon dioxide when mixed with a liquid, such as milk or water.

MY PERSONAL OPINION:
- Baking Soda is the tough stuff, well-rounded.
*You can bake with it
*Clean with it
*Make a volcano with it.
- Baking Powder is not as "well-rounded."
*You can bake with it
...and that's about it

well they are both leavening agents- which means they use carbon dioxide to produce bubbles to "rise" things.
Baking soda is pure sodium bicarbonate.
Baking powder contains sodium bicarbonate, but it includes the acidifying agent already (cream of tartar), and also a drying agent (usually starch).
