Baking powder is a dry chemical leavening agent, a mixture of a carbonate or bicarbonate and a weak acid and is used for increasing the volume and lightening the texture of baked goods. Baking powder works by releasing carbon dioxide gas into a batter or dough through an acid-base reaction, causing bubbles in the wet mixture to expand and thus leavening the mixture.

Baking powder was discovered by English food manufacturer Alfred Bird in 1843.[1] It is used instead of yeast for end-products where fermentation flavors would be undesirable[2] or where the batter lacks the elastic structure to hold gas bubbles for more than a few minutes,[3] or to speed the production. Because carbon dioxide is released at a faster rate through the acid-base reaction than through fermentation, bread made by chemical leavening are called quick bread.
