Baking Powder: How Many Grams in a Teaspoon?
Baking powder is a complete leavening agent (acid + base). Measuring by teaspoon is standard, but for scaling up recipes, weight is crucial. Excess baking powder causes cakes to rise rapidly and then collapse, leaving a bitter, metallic aftertaste. Precision prevents chemical disasters.

FAQ
- Is it the same as Baking Soda?
- No! Baking Powder contains acid. Baking Soda needs you to add acid (like lemon or buttermilk). Swapping them 1:1 will ruin the recipe.
