Baking soda and baking powder.
Either self raising flour or baking powder is used to makes it rise. This works by a chemical reaction; as the cakes heat up the chemical reaction is activated and gas is released, which caused the air bubbles in the cake, which make it rise.
hi,
when you put the cake in the oven/microwave, the self-raising flour will make the cake (cupcake) rise.
hope this helps !!!

Here, let me improve this a little bit, since the other answer, while correct, is also a little vague.
In cupcakes, you will have flour and baking powder, correct? I do, at least, haha.
Baking powder has an effect much like yeast does - it makes bread rise.
So, when the baking powder (a base) is combined with an acidic substance, the two will have a reaction that will further create CO2.
Since the CO2 has nowhere to go, it starts to try and escape the bread, so then the cupcakes start to rise as the CO2 expands and tries to escape.
The more heat, the faster is rises, since the electrons will be more excited. Although, after a certain temperature, the CO2 might actually escape, and then your cupcakes will be flat. So, you just have to make sure that you don't let it get too hot.
Because although the cake would try to rise evenly, the area at the edges experience more resistance from the sides of the tray and the cake case. As there is less resistance in the middle, it rises slightly more than at the edges.
I've found what works best for me is after I pour the batter in the pans, I level it with a spatula or the back of a large spoon, then I place the pans on the kitchen counter and spin them very quickly which disperses more of the batter out towards the sides of the pan.
To do this, place your hands on each side of the cake pan, then give it a good, hard spin. I wouldn't advise using a cake turntable
because the pan could spin right off of it. And be sure to spin in only one direction, and be very careful to not spin it onto the floor. It only takes a few fast spins to 'sling' the batter out towards the sides, sowhen you see that the cake batter in the middle of the pan is lower than the sides, it is ready to bake. You need to put the cake in the oven immediately after spinning.
This also helps remove air bubbles from the cake, causing them to rise to the top before baking.
I use this methodwhen makingwedding cakes too, and it's always worked very well, giving a good, level cake top.
You have to put just a touch of baking soda or powder what ever one makes it puff
Bite it in the Avon
to make it 'rise', have air pockets, not be dense
With rice flour. I would expect it to not rise as much and be very prone to falling in the center.
very high
A cake will last longer without ingredients such as eggs and milk. EG: in the war soldiers were given the anzac biscuits as they could last long periods without perishing. The cake may also be more crumbley without eggs, as eggs assist in binding a cake.
No, because cake flour will make baked goods much more dense and heavier.A bit more:While cake flour makes cakes very light and tender, it doesn't have enough gluten in it to make bread, which has to have a much higher gluten content to achieve the right texture, and to aid in rising.
the reason i am asking is because i have a very long torso and most high rise jeans are not adequate.
Equator
Chocolate cake is very high in calories, so it goes in the "fats, oils & sweets" category.
very much so.
pop cake
No because you would just get very disgusting little cakes!!!!..................................................................................................................................So in conclusion dont make cookies out of old cake mix!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Run to the nearest bakery (if possible) buy the cake and run back... Okayy not very good :L
