Not all brands of baking powder are gluten-free. Baking powder is made from baking soda, cream of tartar (a bi-product of wine production) and a "moisture absorption agent" which is usually, but not always cornstarch. Other starches including potato starch (gluten-free) and wheat starch (contains gluten) can be used in baking powder products.

∙ 14y agoBaking powder contains:
- baking soda (sodium bicarbonate);
- cream of tartar (tartaric acid);
- a small amount of starch.

Baking powder does not usually contain egg. It is merely a rising agent to produce bubbles in the (cake) mix.

Can you use baking powder and xanthan gum and baking soda in a cake?
You can use any or all of these in cake baking. You cannot necessarily use them interchangeably and expect identical results. It is quite usual to use both baking soda and baking powder in the same cake, especially if the recipe calls for an acid ingredient like fruit which will activate the baking soda, but in this case the volume of baking powder has usually been reduced. Baking powder mixes usually contain a small proportion of baking soda anyway. Xanthan gum is most commonly used in making gluten-free products. Gluten is the protein found in flour. Heat, as in baking, toughens protein. Raising agents like baking soda and baking powder give off little bubbles of carbon dioxide during the baking process and these bubbles are held in place by the toughening gluten, rather like little balloons being blown up - this is what causes a cake to rise and hold its shape. Xanthan gum is used in a similar way to add thickness and volume to gluten-free products. If you are wanting to add these raising agents to make a gluten-free product then read the label on the baking powder - it often contains gluten.
