Double-Acting Baking Powder Measuring FAQs

What does double-acting baking powder mean? ▾

It reacts twice: first releasing carbon dioxide gas when moistened in the batter, and second when exposed to oven heat above 140°F (60°C).

How do I test if my baking powder is still fresh and active? ▾

Stir 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder into 1/4 cup of warm water; vigorous bubbling indicates active leavening power.
