Question

why is it preferred to add baking powder in the ingredient used to make fluffy cakes?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

This is bcoz when baking powder ( which is a mix of baking soda - NaHCO3 and some edible organic acid such as tartaric acid) is added to cake batter and the batter is heated, CO2 is released.

This CO2 causes the cake to rise.. leading to its fluffy ness!

Here’s the equation

NaHCO3 + (H+) of edible acid ——— CO2 + H20 + sodium salt of the acid

Hope this helps:)
