When doubling a recipe do you need to double the baking powder?
It makes sense to double the baking powder but I heard once that you shouldn't double the baking powder when doubling a recipe.

Have you ever heard of this? What do you do with baking powder when doubling a recipe?

Double of everything since it's like making two separate servings. The other doubled ingredients also need their share of the baking powder.
double everything that is called for
take care, if u double the recipe, don't read twice what to do
i have never heard of not doubling it ...if you don't, you won't have enough leavening agent and it won't rise properly ....
I usually double everything (apart from temperature - bad idea).
When you are doubling a recipe...you are DOUBLING IT! lol :) You should double ALL of the ingredients in order for things to pan out the way they should. Good luck!
