Baking powder...translation, please?

Does it exist in Sweden?

I searched my local ICA high and low for "bakpulver" today -- the Google translation of "baking powder" that I pulled up on my phone. Couldn't find any such thing. I've found baking soda in the past, but I can't locate baking powder.

Can anyone point me in the right direction -- a translation and perhaps a hint as to WHERE in a supermarket I might find it? The baking aisle would be obvious (flour, sugar, etc.), and yet I didn't see anything like it there...

Tack tack!

It is called bakpulver and it is usually located in the baking aisle, so you were on the right path.
It comes in cans like these: https://www.google.se/search?q=bakpulver&am..._NueO4gTDs4DIDA

Just ask the staff for "baking powder" and they will find it for you.

You can find it near the self-raising, or is self-rising flour. Maybe someone knows the Swedish word for it.

Bakpulver is usually very prominant in the baking aisle near the flour

Usually it comes in a cardboard tub with a plastic lid

Thank you! I returned to ICA with renewed confidence and found it. The resulting cookies turned out well. smile.gif
