Packaged in convenient 0.38-ounce sachets, this vegan-friendly powder has been a trusted baking staple since 1897, delivering consistent, fluffy cakes with authentic French flair. ## Description Ready to bake a cake? Then grab one of the famous pink packs of Alsa baking powder, known in France as levure chimique or levure alsacienne. Unlike most American brands, Alsa is single-acting, which means that it creates the gas needed for leavening as soon as it is mixed with liquid ingredients. The double-acting powders that are common in the U.S. release gas in two stages: first when mixed with liquid ingredients and then when heated. The Alsa brand was founded in 1897 by Emile Moench, born in Alsace four years after the region had been ceded to Germany following the war of 1870-1871. Moench worked first as an aide cuisinier for the wagons-lit and then went to Vienna to perfect his craft. It was there, working for a baker, that he first came to know of baking powder, then still under development (baking powder was invented by the German August Oetker in 1891). He took the knowledge with him back to France, where he opened a small fine food shop and sold flans and cakes made with the product. Eventually he opened a factory in Nancy to produce the baking powder commercially. The pink packets have always featured a woman in Alsatian head dress; a stork, symbol of Alsace, also appears at times. Each sachet contains about 1 tablespoon of baking powder. Review: Authentic French baking powder, great results - This Alsa baking powder works perfectly and gives consistent, reliable results when baking cakes and pastries. It helps cakes rise evenly and keeps the texture light and fluffy without affecting the flavor. The individual packets are very convenient and make measuring easy, especially for French or European recipes that call for one sachet. It’s also great to have pre-measured portions with no waste. Excellent quality product for home bakers who enjoy traditional French baking. I’m very happy with the results and will definitely buy it again. Review: Great for baking - Used this baking powder in France. Was glad to see that I could purchase it from desertcart. It was fresh and I have had it for a couple months and still good. Better than any baking powder in America. ## Features - Imported straight from France - Great baking powder to bake cakes - Single-acting baking powder - Made by Alsa since 1897 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004NRIXHI | | Best Sellers Rank | #46,961 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #29 in Baking Powder | | Brand | Alsa | | Brand Name | Alsa | | Coin Variety 1 | Baking Powder | | Container Type | Packet | | Cuisine | French cuisine | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 589 Reviews | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Package Weight | 0.1 kg | | Item Weight | 10.8 g | | Leavening Agent Type | Baking Powder | | Manufacturer | Alsa | | Number of Items | 8 | | Package Size Name | Pack of 8 | | Set Name | Pack of 8 | | Size | 0.38 Ounce (Pack of 8) | | Specialty | Vegan | | UPC | 764521031201 | | Unit Count | 3.04 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Alsa - **Item Form:** Powder - **Item Weight:** 10.8 g - **Number of Items:** 8 - **Unit Count:** 3.04 Ounce ## Images ![Alsa - French Cake Baking Powder, 0.38 Ounce, 8 Count - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71rCnpuCBKL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How many Packets are in each other?** A: It comes in packets of 8.
