Based on USDA FoodData Central data (1 US cup = 240ml = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons). Note: Baking powder is a leavening agent. 1 teaspoon = 4.6g. Most recipes use teaspoon measurements. Check expiration — old baking powder loses potency. Do not substitute with baking soda without adjusting acid in recipe.

About Baking Powder Density

The density of baking powder determines how much it weighs per unit of volume. At 0.9g/ml, 1 US cup (240ml) of baking powder weighs 230g under USDA standard conditions.

Volume measurements can vary by ±10–20% depending on technique (sifted vs. spooned vs. scooped). For consistent baking results, use a kitchen scale with gram measurements whenever possible. The USDA standard (spooned-and-leveled) is the reference point for all values on this page.
