What are the differences and similarities between baking powder and baking soda?
Can you use them in the same amounts in a recipe?
Usually not. Baking powder is designed to provide the needed amount of lift, so the recipe will specify how much to use. Baking soda, on the other hand, should be used sparingly, usually only 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon per cup of flour.
