How many times have we been left with the desire to make a delicious cake for not having the yeast? I have to admit that it has happened to me more than once and more than twice. It makes me very angry, especially when it is the weekend or I plan to bring a dessert and I have to improvise another.
It is an ingredient that we have in every house and we do not realize its presence until we are missing. But we will never be without him again because we can make at home conveniently and quickly.
There are few ingredients and both baking soda and cornstarch are easy to find. Perhaps the least known is cream of tartar but as we have seen it is some recipes it is much easier to achieve than we think.
To get our homemade baking powder we just have to mix the ingredients and that's it. Of course, we have to be respectful with quantities to get a good result.
The best of all is that it is easy to use since we will use it as we have done so far, that is, following the instructions of each recipe. If the recipe tells us to add a tablespoon of baking powder, we will take our pot and add a tablespoon. If the recipe calls for 1 sachet of baking powder we will put 15 grams. One trick I use is to put this amount at the bottom of the jar where I keep it. This way I know at all times that I am going to use the correct amount.
Basic recipe: homemade baking powder
It is very easy to make this recipe at home.

Where do you get cream of tartar? Or under what trade name. Thanks
In any physical and online confectionery store.
Good Morning. In my cornstarch package it puts instant thickener. Is that package or is it corn flour? Thanks
Hello Blanca:
you have to use the one that puts fine corn flour.
Regards!!
What is the purpose of putting cornstarch? I don't use cornstarch. Instead I substitute it for buckwheat flour. Can I also substitute it in this recipe anyway?
Thank you.
Hello isbael:
It is an ingredient that serves to make it look better. I think your cakes will rise the same with buckwheat flour.
Regards!!
Can you please tell me where to buy cream of tartar?
Thank you
Hello Mercedes:
You will find it in bakery stores and online stores. If you have a winemaker friend you can ask him, it is used during the wine production.
Regards!
Hello, I love the recipe and it is very easy, but I have a question, do I have to let the yeast rest before using it or can it be used instantly? In case of letting it rest, how long would it be?
Thank you very much in advance!
Once done, it can be used whenever you want, you don't need rest or anything.
Regards!
