What causes the cake to rise?

Baking powder and Bicarbonate of soda causes the cake to rise.

Baking powder is what causes the cake to rise.

A chemical reaction.

It's not the milk alone that makes a cake rise. If the recipe includes milk it probably also contains either baking powder and/or baking soda. This combination of a base (Baking soda or Baking Powder) and an acid (milk) causes a slight chemical reaction which causes the cake to rise.

Hot air pockets that caused the cake to rise cool and contract, or escape, shrinking and letting the cake fall.

The baking soda or baking powder in the cake reacts with the acid content of the ingredients to emit carbon dioxide which causes bubbles in the batter. These bubbles are then trapped as the cake bakes and cause the cake to rise.

Baking soda reacts with acidic ingredients in cake batter, producing gas which causes the cake to rise.

The flour has a reaction to the other ingreedients and causes the cake to rise.

For cooking sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) is added.

While baking, the cake expands. This is due to the moisture in the batter heating up, and turning into steam. The steam expands and tries to rise. This causes the cake to puff up and rise, too. When the cake cools, or the steam escapes, the cake will fall as there is nothing to push it and expand it anymore.

The ingredient in baking soda that causes baked goods to rise in the oven is sodium bicarbonate and alum or cream of tartar. Both alum and cream of tartar are acidic. Cream of tartar is used for alum free powders. Sodium bicarbonate is slightly basic. The reaction between the two chemicals when moistened and heated produces carbon dioxide gas which causes the cake to rise as the bubbles of CO2 gas get trapped in the…

This is decomposition of sodium bicarbonate when carbon dioxide is released.

Vinegar (acid) is used in combination with baking soda (base) to create a gas that causes cake to rise.

Yes. Cakes rise in the center during baking for a few reasons. Flour and yeast can cause it to rise, but also hot air cooks inside the cake. With heat, the air is converted into steam which causes the cake to puff up and rise some more.

Baking powder is a leavening agent, which is what causes the cake to rise. Too little baking powder will cause the cake to be tough and compact, and won't rise as expected.

When a cake is baked, it heats up. There is moisture inside the cake. This comes from the batter (things like eggs and milk and butter), along with all the water that is in the cake. The water, when heated, turns to steam. Steam, or hot air, expands. Since there are little or no openings in the cake for steam to rise out of, it causes the cake to puff up and rise as it…

Baking soda causes specific chemical reactions to occur when it is mixed with other ingredients and baked. CO2 is produced, and this is what causes cakes to rise and taste light and fluffy.

Baking Powder Ingredient that causes breads or cakes to rise. It is usually composed of baking soda, cream of tarter and cornstarch. Baking Soda Also known as Bicarbonate of Soda. When mixed with acids such as buttermilk or yogurt, it produces bubbles which causes baked goods to rise.

Vinegar is sometimes added to a cake along with baking soda. When the two are mixed together they release gas which causes the cake to rise. If you don't add the vinegar that a cake recipe calls for, your cake won't rise. just letting u kno,,, if u are actually answering these gay questions, u r such a nerd!!! get a life!!

Baking powder is typically used to make cakes rise. Baking powder is essentially, baking soda with an additional acid. When it reacts, it breaks down into carbon dioxide, water, and salt. The carbon dioxide causes bubbles in the cake mix, allowing the cake to rise.

baking powder. i have no idea how it works though..

There is moisture within the cake batter before it is baked. This comes mostly frow water, but also from milk and eggs and oil. As the cake is baked, the heat rises. This causes the moisture in the cake batter to turn to steam. Steam rises, but there is no place for it to escape. This causes the cake to puff up. Also, when the liquid cake batter cooks into a solid, it does naturally…

eggs dont rise, you whisk them ,put them in cake, and it will help the cake rise

yes without flour the cake wont rise.

Baking soda is a chemical ingredient that can be used to make cakes rise, whipped egg whites can also do the same in items such as Angel food cakes.

It's made of a combination of chemicals such as bicarbonate of soda. When heated they release a gas which disperses through the cake and tries to force it's way out which causes the cake to 'rise' and where the gas has been there are little 'holes' which makes the cake lighter and fluffier.

Eggs are part of what causes the cake to rise. Therefore, with no eggs or egg substitute, you could possibly end up with a very interesting, very inedible science fair experiment.

Help make the cake to rise

The finer crystals of caster sugar allow additional air to be incorporated into the cake batter. This causes the cake/baked good to rise more. However most recipes will still work with granulated sugar.

Yes. Due to the property of baking soda, which is a base, it reacts with acidic ingredients in the cake and makes bubbles which cause the cake to rise.

It isn't more eggs that makes a cake rise. It is how much you whisk it if you whisk it more the cake will rise more.

If you do not put in eggs into the cake mix, the cake will not rise. The cake will be flat.

no sour cream won't make a cake rise. i am 9 and still a food expert.

it makes the cake rise in the oven

The cake will not rise properly.

Part of the rise is from steam trapped in the cake. As it cools, the steam condenses so the cake deflates some.

It rises because you add baking soda to the batter spreading throughout the cake. That would make the middle rise.

baking powder makes a cake rise because of the elements made from that powder. the powder releases gas which slowly dissolves in the texture and makes it rise

the cake will NOT rise, stay flat.

Tiny bubbles that makes the cake rise

yes it will rise

Cakes rise when baked, whereas flapjacks do not. So, a flapjack is not a cake.

Yes, baking powder helps your cake rise.

no otherwise the cake will RISE

Cheesecake is a pie, because cake rises and cheesecake does not rise.

The purpose of baking soda in a cake is to make the cake rise. Hope this helps you! :)

Baking powder makes a cake rise because it has sodium bicarbonate in it. Sodium Bicarbonates proper chemical name is sodium hydrogencarbonate

Baking Powder makes the cake rise because of its chemicals. It was a leavener and needed in baking. Why? It's maybe because it makes the baked product rise, and to have a good quality. I may not so good in baking, but I can baked. Leaveners such as: Baking Powder, Baking Soda, Yeast can make the cake rise.

Lift is the force that causes an airplane to rise. Lift is caused by the flowing of air under the wings. This causes the airplane to rise.

Some gases expand, which is what causes the bread and cakes to rise and become lighter and "fluffier". Others will escape out of the baked goods.
