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.
self raising flour is basically plain flour with baking powder in it so for a cake you can use plain flour with baking powder but it is easier to use self raising and it also has other raising agents. you need to use it to make you cake rise, if your cake didn't rise it would be small and very dense making its texture not as nice to consume.
