Based on USDA FoodData Central data (1 US cup = 240ml = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons). Note: Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is 3-4x more powerful than baking powder. 1 teaspoon = 4.6g. Requires an acid (buttermilk, vinegar, lemon juice) to activate. Substituting requires adjusting recipe acid content.
About Baking Soda Density
The density of baking soda determines how much it weighs per unit of volume. At 0.9g/ml, 1 US cup (240ml) of baking soda weighs 230g under USDA standard conditions.
1 teaspoon = 1/48 cup = 5ml. For baking soda, 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.
