---what is the idea of using bicarbonate soda and cream of tarter mixed in baking a sponge cake and what would be the right ammount for a sponge cake?
Bicarbonate of soda and cream of tartar mixed gives 'baking powder'. It is a leavening agent, used to makes cakes rise. To make baking powder, the ratio is 1:3 parts bicarb to cream of tartar.
