a good raising agent for cakes or any baking for that matter would be sodium hydrogen carbonate, this contains alkaline, the alkaline when heated gives off carbon dioxide, which forms little bubbles all over , in and around the cake making these bigger -being filled with the CO2 makes the cake rise, you can see this when you cut a cake open , the little air pockets/holes all inside the cake.
