Adding baking soda to cakes made with wheat flour helps the batter rise and become lighter and airier during baking. The baking soda reacts with acidic ingredients in the batter to produce carbon dioxide gas, which creates bubbles and causes the cake to rise. This results in a softer, more tender texture in the final cake.

Flour oftentimes goes through a process known as bleaching. This makes the white baking flour most people are accustomed to and which they like to use in baking; however, while this makes the flour more suitable to common baked goods, it also strips much of the nutritional value from the flour. Vitamins are sometimes added to this flour making it 'enriched' white flour. By not doing the bleaching process, you retain the whole wheat aspect of the flour, making it healthier and heartier, and don't necessarily need to 'enrich' the flour.
