White powder that is used for baking is baking powder. It is a mixture of weak alkali and a weak acid and is used 2 increase volume of baked goods. It can also lighten the texture of cake or bread. Baking powder releases carbon dioxide gas into batter. This cause bubbles that expand and make batter less dense . The chemical formula is NaHCO3(baking soda)CaHPO4... 2H2O(calcium phoshate)(C6H10O5) n (starch )
