Measuring Tip
Leavener measurements are critical because even small differences affect rise and texture. When possible, weigh baking soda rather than relying on volume.
Understanding the Units
What is a Tablespoon?
One tablespoon holds about 15 milliliters. There are 16 tablespoons in a cup and 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon. In baking, tablespoon measurements are used for butter, oil, honey, and other ingredients where a full cup would be too much.
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.

The most accurate way is to weigh baking soda on a kitchen scale, especially at small quantities where precision matters most. If measuring by volume, dip the spoon into the container and level it off with a straight edge. Do not tap or shake the spoon, which settles the powder and increases the amount.
Close, but not exactly. The tablespoons to grams conversion for baking soda may vary slightly between brands depending on moisture content and how the ingredient is measured.
Weighing is more consistent than volume measuring. A tablespoon of baking soda can vary by 10-20% depending on how it's scooped, packed, or leveled. Weighing gives the same result every time, which is especially important in baking where precision affects texture and rise.
