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.
1 tablespoon = 1/16 cup = 15ml. For baking powder, this equals 14.4g per tablespoon. Tablespoon measurements are useful for amounts between 1 teaspoon and 1/4 cup. For very precise recipes, weigh tablespoon amounts on a scale to avoid density variation errors.
