Emergency substitutions

Can it be true? You’re out of chocolate? Baking powder? Brown sugar? Don’t panic — help is on the way. Not every ingredient is replaceable, but the following substitutions will allow you to continue baking despite the missing whatever-it-is. In some cases, the finished product will be almost identical. Some subsititutions can produce a slightly different flavor or texture in the finished product. Maybe a better one — you never know.
