It's one part bicarb soda to 2 parts cream of tartar to make the baking powder. Then for:

sponge cake - 3 tsp baking powder per 8oz/225g flour
fruitcake 1 tsp
batters biscuits pastry 1 tsp
suet and steamed puddings 3tsps

isn't it baking powder you add?

dunno how much, sorry

if no one else answers, try a teasp to 8oz of flour, but that is a total guess...

Probably go with the sponge cake (3tsp per 8oz) then.

Did see your message originally but couldn't be arsed toget up and go to the kitchen!

I've always used the amounts from the back of the baking powder tub plus whatever extra the recipie calls for.
