500(i) Sodium Carbonate 500(ii) Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate 341(i) Monocalcium dihydrogen Phosphate 341(ii) Calcium Hydrogen Phosphate
the name given to the mixture of flour raising agent and liquid is dough.
Raising agent 500 or E500 is a designation for baking soda (also called soda, carbonate of soda, sodium bicarbonate, or bicarbonate of soda)
Dough
Sodium carbonate is a base. It will react with water in small amounts to produce hydroxide ions, which lowers the concnetration of hydronium ions, thus raising the pH.
yeast and baking powderActually, there is no yeast in self raising flour. Self raising flour is flour with bicarbonate of soda and cream of tartar (tartaric acid). This causes a double action rising effect. This is essentially the same as plain flour with added baking powder.
The raising agent in the self raising flour generates CO2 when it is heated making the spongy texture and the egg ingredient sets the mixture
you use self-raising flour so that when the cake is cooking it rises and it adds to the mixture you use too make a cake :)
if you've used self-raising flour then yes the mixture will rise, withour any baking powder
A raising agent is a liquid or powder that helps things such as: bread, cakes and scones rise. Things like bread rely on raising agents to ensure they have the right texture and form. The raising agent gives off carbon dioxide when it is heated up this forces the mixture to rise. Acidic salts also have this effect when added into a mixture such as bread. However they cause the mixture to rise at temperatures as low as 15 degrees Celsius.
Put more self raising flour in and put more mixture in......
Not all of flours are self-raising that's why we buy, self-raising, white flour etc. However if you use a teaspoon or two (maybe three depending on the size of the cake) you will have the same effect. (Although the cake mixture might not taste the same =D
