FAQ
- Does old Vanilla Extract still weigh the same even if it leavens less?
- Yes — chemical potency can fade over a year while the gram weight per cup stays constant. The conversion table is still valid; replace the product for fresh rising power.
- Is it safe to swap Vanilla Extract for a similar powder at the same gram weight?
- For structure/mass yes, but leavening strength varies — baking powder is ~3× weaker than baking soda at equal mass. Check the chemistry, not just the weight.
