Sponge cake is an ideal dessert that is prepared quite quickly and also goes perfectly with various creams, berries or fruits.

Another feature of the sponge cake is its fluffiness. For this purpose, soda or baking powder is usually added to the dough.

But it is important to remember that such components can spoil the taste of the treat.

That is why some housewives refuse them if the goal is not to get a fluffy cake.

The absence or presence of soda or baking powder in the dough depends solely on the recipe and taste preferences.

But if you still want to enjoy an airy dessert, but you don’t have any baking powder on hand or you want to make the taste of the biscuit more interesting, then there are several interesting cooking options.

What can replace baking powder?

Most often, cooks mix a small amount of baking soda with lemon or other fruit juice.

A combination of soda with honey, yogurt or sour cream is suitable.
