Air expands when heated, so if you are able to get enough air bubbles into a cake batter, the batter will expand when baked. This is the process behind the leavening action of whipped eggs in a Genoise sponge.

Do raising agents contain yeast?

Raising agents can include yeast, but not all of them do. Yeast is a biological raising agent that ferments sugars, producing carbon dioxide and causing dough or batter to rise. Other types of raising agents, such as baking powder and baking soda, are chemical leavening agents that create gas through chemical reactions. Therefore, while yeast is a common raising agent, it is just one of several options available for leavening baked goods.
