Common Questions
How many grams is 1 tablespoon of baking powder?
1 US tablespoon of baking powder = 14 grams. This is using a level tablespoon with standard US measuring spoons (14.8ml). If you're in Australia, watch out - their tablespoons are 20ml and equal about 19g!
Why does my cake taste bitter?
Bitter taste usually means too much baking powder! Remember the golden ratio: 1-1.5 teaspoons per cup of flour (125g) maximum. Using heaped tablespoons instead of level ones is the most common mistake. Our converter helps you get it perfect every time!
Can I substitute baking soda?
No, they're chemically different! Baking soda needs acid (like buttermilk or lemon juice) to work, while baking powder already contains acid. They're not interchangeable. If you're out of baking powder, check our emergency substitute recipe above!
Does altitude affect the amount?
Yes! At high altitude, gases expand more, so you need LESS baking powder. Reduce by 15-25% above 3,000 feet. Check our altitude converter for exact adjustments for your location.
