Baking Powder - Gluten Free

Baking powder is a raising agent and is an essential ingredient for cake making. It can also be used to clean surfaces for a completely natural cleaning product.

Baking powder is a leavening (raising) agent that is used to add volume and lighten baked goods such as cakes. It helps to provide a fluffy sponge by a chemical reaction that happens during baking.

Baking powder is a combination of an alkali, an acid, bicarbonate of soda and cream of tartar along with a touch of cornflour to absorb the moisture. It is activated when it is combined with liquid such as when making a cake. A chemical reaction takes place and carbon dioxide is produced causing bubbles which helps the mixture to expand thus creating a light and airy sponge.

It is because of the chemical reaction that it is important when preparing a cake mixture, to place the mixture into the oven as soon as you can after combining both the wet and dry ingredients.

When baking powder expires it can still be used as a cleaning product but cannot be used for baking as the leavening agent will not work as well.
