Is tartaric acid and cream of tartar the same thing.

Cream of tartar is obtained when tartaric acid is half neutralized with potassium hydroxide, transforming it into a salt. Many recipes include both Cream of Tartar and Tartaric Acid. Generally speaking you may use Cream of Tartar as a substitute for Tartaric Acid but Cream of Tartar is normally cheaper.

In some recipes, baking powder can replace baking soda. You may need to reduce or eliminate another acid ingredient, such as lemon juice or vinegar, because baking powder includes its own acid.
