Best Answer

Baking Powder is what makes cakes rise, similar to yeast in bread.

Plain flour recipes usually need baking powder added alongside other ingredients, whereas Self-Raising flour already has Baking Powder combined so extra is not usually needed.

If you bake cupcakes with Plain flour and without Baking Powder they will be very flat, about the same size as the raw mixture, it won't be light and fluffy but quite dense.

It is also a good idea to not substitute Self Raising flour in a recipe that calls for Plain and Baking Powder (and vice versa), as the amount is usually tailored to give just the right amount of rise to the food.
