What can you use instead baking soda?
Using Baking Powder Instead of Baking Soda* You need to use 2-3 times more baking powder than baking soda. The extra ingredients in the baking powder will have an effect on the taste of whatever you are making, but this isn't necessarily bad. * Ideally, triple the amount of baking soda to equal the amount of baking powder. So, if the recipe called for 1 tsp baking soda, you would use 3 tsp baking powder. * What I do is compromise... I use twice the amount of baking powder as baking soda (add 2 tsp of baking powder if the recipe calls for 1 tdp baking soda), plus I omit the salt (which adds flavor but also affects rising in some recipes).

What would you put baking soda in?
Baking soda is a leavening agent and is used in many different types of baked goods. Many cookie recipes call for baking soda rather than baking powder. Recipe's such as Red Velvet Cake and some chocolate cakes also call for baking soda, some along with baking powder, some as the only leavening agent. Baking soda combined with equal amounts 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 corn starch and cream of tartar accordingly.
