I need to bake a flourless cake. The recipe calls for the use of cream of tartar. Is it possible to substitute this powder in this recipe?
I understand that cream of tartar is a white crystalline powder (chemically it is potassium hydrogen tartarate, KC4H506) the acidic potassium salt of tartaric acid. It helps add volume to egg white and brings a creamier consistency to candy and frosting. So, is there something else that can help add volume to my cake??
