If you only have baking powder and a recipe calls for both baking soda and baking powder, you can generally replace the baking soda with additional baking powder. For every teaspoon of baking soda needed, use about 2 to 3 teaspoons of baking powder, but keep in mind that this may alter the cake's texture and flavor slightly. Additionally, since baking powder already contains an acid, you may want to adjust the recipe by reducing any additional acidic ingredients.

Baking powder and baking soda are not directly interchangeable. If baking powder is used, one should reduce the amount of salt in the recipe, as well as reduce or eliminate any added acidic ingredient such as vinegar or lemon juice; replace buttermilk with regular milk.
How much more can a cake rise with baking soda than a cake without baking soda?
A cake made with baking soda can rise more than a cake made without it because baking soda reacts with acid in the recipe to produce carbon dioxide gas, which creates bubbles in the batter, causing it to rise. On the other hand, a cake without baking soda may rely on other leavening agents like baking powder or beaten eggs to rise, but it may not rise as much as a cake with baking soda.
What proteins in milk make a cake rise?
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.
