How much double action baking powder per cup of wheat flour?
The typical amount of double-acting baking powder per cup of wheat flour is 1 1/2 teaspoons.
However, this can vary slightly depending on:
* The recipe: Some recipes may call for more or less baking powder depending on the other ingredients and the desired texture.
* The type of flour: Whole wheat flour often requires more baking powder than all-purpose flour due to its lower gluten content.
* The age of the baking powder: Baking powder loses potency over time. If your baking powder is older, you may need to use a bit more.
Here's a general rule of thumb:
* For cakes and muffins: 1 1/2 teaspoons per cup of flour
* For quick breads: 2 teaspoons per cup of flour
It's always a good idea to check the recipe for specific instructions.
