Baker’s Ammonia – Dr. Oetker

Dr. Oetker Baker’s Ammonia is a leavening agent that is suitable for flat and soft cakes such as layer cake bases and klejner. Deer antler salt is not suitable for tall cakes and muffins.

Baker’s Ammonia is a chemical salt that when heated splits into two gases, ammonia and carbon dioxide. The splitting causes the dough to rise heavily. Due to the slightly pungent smell, Baker’s Ammonia is only used for flat baked goods with a large surface area, such as klejner, vanilla wreaths and layer cake bases. In this way, the characteristic smell can easily evaporate. Did you know that the name antler salt is due to the fact that the leavening agent is a salt that was previously extracted from antler from animals (Hjortetaksalt). Today, it is purely chemical.
