About Baking Powder Density
Baking powder is a chemical leavening agent made from a base (usually baking soda), one or more acids, and a starch such as cornstarch. Its loose bulk density averages around 0.9–1.0 g/ml; for our calculator we use a working value of 0.97 g/ml, which corresponds to about 230 g per US cup. Because baking powder is fluffy and can compact, weighing it is the most reliable method when precision matters.
Baking & Recipe Tips
- Measure baking powder with level teaspoons and tablespoons—avoid heaping spoons for consistent results.
- Whisk baking powder evenly into dry ingredients to prevent uneven rising or tunneling in cakes.
- Store in a cool, dry place and test freshness by adding a little to warm water—vigorous bubbling means it’s still active.
- Too much baking powder can cause baked goods to rise quickly then collapse and taste bitter—use a scale for accuracy.
