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 teaspoon = 1/48 cup = 5ml. For baking powder, this equals 4.79g per teaspoon. Teaspoon measurements are critical for spices, extracts, and leavening agents where small differences have large effects. A kitchen scale is especially recommended for teaspoon-level precision.
