How to Measure Baking Powder
Baking powder should be measured in leveled teaspoons for accurate results. Use a dry measuring spoon, dip into the container, then level off the excess with a straight edge. The typical amount used in recipes is 1-3 teaspoons per batch.
Baking powder can clump or develop moisture-activated lumps. Always stir the container before measuring. Use the calculator above to convert any amount — especially helpful when scaling large commercial baking recipes.
Pro tip: The general rule for baking powder is 1 teaspoon per cup of flour. Using too much causes an initial rapid rise that collapses before the structure sets, resulting in a sunken cake. Always measure precisely.
