What is another word for baking powder?
Pronunciation: [bˈe͡ɪkɪŋ pˈa͡ʊdə] (IPA) 
Baking powder is a leavening agent used in baking that helps dough or batter rise, giving baked goods a fluffy and light texture. There are several synonyms for baking powder, such as leavening agent, raising agent, baking soda, cream of tartar, and yeast. Baking soda is another common leavening agent, but it requires an acidic ingredient such as vinegar or lemon juice to activate. Cream of tartar is another option and can be used in place of baking powder using a specific conversion ratio. Yeast is a natural leavening agent used in bread making. Whatever option is chosen, the use of leavening agents is critical to ensure baked goods rise properly and have the perfect texture.
