The amount of baking powder required depends entirely on what you intend to bake. Different types of cookies, muffins and other baked goods require different proportions of baking powder to flour.

Self-rising cake flour is it the same as cake flour or self-rising flour and can you use all purpose flour instead?

Do you use baking powder and soda with cake flour?
Baking powder is a dry chemical leavening agent used to increase the volume and lighten the texture of baked goods such as muffins, cakes, scones and American-style biscuits. Baking powder works by releasing carbon dioxide gas into a batter or dough through an acid-base reaction, causing bubbles in the wet mixture to expand and thus leavening the mixture. hmmm, and in non-wikipedia terms, basically it helps the cake to rise, and usually you add a pinch of salt to the mix, because it makes the baking powder taste less soapy :D hope this helps!
