How to Use
Whisk one envelope into the dry ingredients of your cake, muffin, or pastry recipe before adding wet ingredients, then bake as directed. Because the formula is double-acting, the batter can sit briefly before baking without losing all of its rise. Store unopened envelopes in a cool, dry pantry and reseal the box tightly once opened.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Dr. Oetker Baking Powder contain allergens?
Dr. Oetker Baking Powder is a sugar-free leavening agent made from standard baking ingredients such as corn starch, sodium bicarbonate, and acid leavening agents, with no major allergens listed by Dr. Oetker. It is packed in a facility that may also handle other baking products, so anyone with a food allergy should read the printed envelope label before use.
How should I store Dr. Oetker Baking Powder?
Keep unopened envelopes in a cool, dry pantry away from moisture and heat, since baking powder loses its leavening power if it absorbs humidity. Once the box is opened, reseal it tightly and keep envelopes flat. Use envelopes before the date printed on the box for the most reliable rise in baked goods.
Why does Dr. Oetker Baking Powder use double-acting leavening?
Double-acting means the powder releases carbon dioxide twice — once when it meets liquid during mixing, and again when the batter hits oven heat. This two-stage release gives cakes, muffins, and pastries a steadier, more even rise than a single-acting powder, and it forgives a short wait between mixing and baking.
How many envelopes are in one box of Dr. Oetker Baking Powder?
Each box contains 6 individual 0.5 oz (14 g) envelopes, for 3 oz (84 g) total. Real Prime Deals also offers Pack of 3, Pack of 6, and Pack of 12 boxes, so home bakers who use it regularly can stock up in one order instead of reordering single boxes.
