Gluten does not denature during the baking process. (This is why people with coeliac disease cannot eat wheat breads, even when they're cooked or toasted).

Can you use baking powder and xanthan gum and baking soda in a cake?

You can use any or all of these in cake baking. You cannot necessarily use them interchangeably and expect identical results. It is quite usual to use both baking soda and baking powder in the same cake, especially if the recipe calls for an acid ingredient like fruit which will activate the baking soda, but in this case the volume of baking powder has usually been reduced. Baking powder mixes usually contain a small proportion of baking soda anyway. Xanthan gum is most commonly used in making gluten-free products. Gluten is the protein found in flour. Heat, as in baking, toughens protein. Raising agents like baking soda and baking powder give off little bubbles of carbon dioxide during the baking process and these bubbles are held in place by the toughening gluten, rather like little balloons being blown up - this is what causes a cake to rise and hold its shape. Xanthan gum is used in a similar way to add thickness and volume to gluten-free products. If you are wanting to add these raising agents to make a gluten-free product then read the label on the baking powder - it often contains gluten.
