Soda v.s. Powder
Baking soda is made from one ingredient – sodium bicarbonate. Sodium bicarbonate is a base (alkaline) that's activated when it comes in contact with an acid, such as buttermilk, yogurt, brown sugar or vinegar. When baking soda activates, it immediately releases carbon dioxide bubbles that help your baked goods rise and become light and fluffy. On the other hand, baking powder is a combination of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and two acids, often monocalcium phosphate and sodium aluminum sulfate. These two additional ingredients work to extend the leavening process. The monocalcium phosphate reacts to the sodium bicarbonate first, when the baking powder is stirred into a wet batter or dough; then the sodium aluminum sulfate reacts to the sodium bicarbonate when it's both moist and hot.
