HOW DOES BAKING POWDER MAKE THE CAKE SOFT AND SPONGY?
❌NO IRRELEVANT STUFF ❌
Answers
Answer:
When baking soda mixes with water, the sodium hydrogencarbonate reacts with the tartaric acid to produce carbon dioxide gas. The carbon dioxide gas produced gets trapped in the wet dough made for baking a cake or bread, and bubbles out slowly, and the cake or bread becomes soft and spongy.
