Baking soda, an alkaline ingredient, plus an acid ingredient, such as buttermilk, vinegar, molasses or sour cream creates a chemical reaction to form carbon dioxide gas in a baked product making it rise and become light and porous. Baking soda is also called sodium bicorbonate in Britian, or NaHCO3.īaking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is used as a leavening agent when a recipe contains acid ingredients. Try the local pharmacy, or the pharmacy section of the supermarket, and ask for bicarbonato. Baking powder and baking soda are not interchangeable and there is no substitution for baking soda. Baking soda helps neutralize acidic ingredients. Baking powder and/or baking soda is used as leavening in many cookie recipes.
