 | | Baking soda is used when a recipe has an acidic ingredient in it because it would taste bitter if not for its inclusion. |
 | | Instead of cream of tartar, I recommend using another acidic ingredient: applesauce, buttermilk, honey, brown sugar, molasses, cream of tartar, lemon juice or vinegar and cocoa powder. |
 | | However, if you find the combination of baking soda and cream of tartar in recipes for cookies or cakes, chances are they're old recipes, since the combination of cream of tartar and baking soda was the precursor to modern baking powder. |
