Baking soda Baking soda is a leavening agent, similar to baking powder, used to give a rising effect on recipes for bread, cakes, muffins, pancakes and similar. The only ingredient of baking soda is sodium bicarbonate. Unlike baking powder, baking soda does not contain acids, so the rising effect takes place immediately after mixing the ingredients. You must therefore bake the recipe immediately after mixing, otherwise the rising effect will fail.
