Yes.
Baking powder is a raising agent commonly used in cakes, biscuits, etc. If a recipes calls for baking powder, you should use it as it performs the important function of producing gases during the baking process which creates lift and aeration. If you do not use baking powder, where indicated, you will find that your cake will not rise or your biscuits will be flat and lifeless! There are, of course, lots of recipes which do not need baking powder. Also, self raising flour already contains a set quantity of raising agents and therefore recipes which use this as an infgredient are less likely to need further raising agents such as baking powder or sodium bicarbonate.
Baking soda is used when there is an acidic ingredient included in the recipe, such as brown sugar, molasses, vinegar or lemon juice. The baking soda reacts with the acid and forms air bubbles, thus acting as a leavener. Without the acid, you would use baking powder.
It really depends on what you are trying to cook. Some recipes use baking *powder*. My recommendation is that you search online for this recipe to see if there are some that use baking powder. Are you trying to limit your sodium intake?
