While baking soda reacts immediately, baking powder usually makes bubbles twice\u2014once when cool and once when heated. But this all depends on the acids in the baking powder. If a baking powder happens to release all the bubbles in the first stage, when mixed, you&#8217;ll lose out on most of your leavening if you don&#8217;t act fast.
