With a leavener like baking soda (bicarb) this matters: a teaspoon is a small amount and the chemistry is unforgiving. Too much and the bake domes, cracks, then sinks with a soapy tang. Too little and it stays dense. Use a real measuring spoon and level the top.

Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, is a versatile leavening agent used in baking. When combined with acidic ingredients like yoghurt, lemon juice, or vinegar, it produces carbon dioxide gas, which helps dough and batter rise. Baking soda is commonly used in recipes for cookies, cakes, and quick breads.

Baking soda is roughly three times stronger than baking powder, so even a small over-measure can leave a soapy, metallic taste. Measuring by weight rather than volume gives you more consistent results. Use the converter below for grams, cups, teaspoons, and more.
