Detailed explanation-2: -Baking powder and baking soda are common leavening agents for baking. A leavening agent helps baked goods, such as bread and cake, rise by adding gas bubbles.

Detailed explanation-3: -Baking Soda It’s used to chemically leaven doughs and batters when it is mixed with an acid. Combining baking soda with an acid produces a chemical reaction that releases carbon dioxide gas which causes the food to expand and become fluffy. Think about light and airy pancakes. That’s the baking soda at work.

Detailed explanation-4: -Baking powder simply adds carbon dioxide to the equation, providing a more forceful pressure that encourages a dough to spread up and out. Without the well-developed elasticity of a bread dough, the strands of gluten in cookies would sooner snap than stretch, cracking along the surface.
