Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 18.44 ounces of baking soda
- Convert ounces to grams: 18.44 × 28.35 = 522.77g
- 1 cup of baking soda = 220g
- 522.77g ÷ 220g/cup = 2.38 cups × 16 = 38.02 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Baking powder loses potency over time. If yours is more than 6 months old, test it: drop a teaspoon into hot water. If it bubbles vigorously, it is still active.
