I'm making sponge cake this afternoon and I ran out of baking powder!!! Will baking soda substitute?! And will rum extract substitute for vanilla extract?
1/4 tsp. baking soda plus 5/8 tsp. cream of tartar
OR
1/4 tsp. baking soda plus 1/2 cup buttermilk or sour milk (decrease liquid by 1/2 cup)
OR
1/4 tsp. baking soda plus 1/4 to 1/2 cup molasses
OR
1/4 tsp. baking soda plus 1/2 Tbsp. vinegar or lemon juice used with sweet milk to make 1/2 cup liquid (decrease liquid by 1/2 cup)

They both are very differentm total opposties actually (or so i've heard). So if you want to try it go ahead, but i wouldnt recommend it. Good luck.

mysterycocomix answered Monday September 5 2005, 5:33 pm: NO! Baking Powder and Baking Soda are very different. One of them reacts to water and other products, while the other doesn't. As for the rum and vanilla, vanilla is justa "flaoring" so I wouldn't see why not. Hope I helped
