Close, but not exactly. The ounces to tablespoons conversion for baking powder may vary slightly between brands depending on moisture content and how the ingredient is measured.

An ounce of baking powder fills a different number of tablespoons than an ounce of a lighter or heavier ingredient. That is why this converter needs to know which ingredient you are measuring.
