Baking powder is a leavening agent, which is what causes the cake to rise. Too little baking powder will cause the cake to be tough and compact, and won't rise as expected.
It will rise too much and probably over flow. Too much baking powder will cause the cake to rise rapidly and then collapse, as well as giving the cake a bitter taste. The finished cake will have a fallen center, and a course crumb,

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.
For cakes and other baked goods to rise, baking powder, a dry chemical leavening ingredient, is used in baking. A combination of baking soda, an acid, and a moisture-absorbing substance, such as corn-starch, makes up this substance. Baking powder reacts with baking soda and acid to create carbon dioxide gas when it is added to a cake mix. It rises and becomes light and fluffy as a result of the trapped gas in the batter. Baking powder is kept dry with the help of the moisture-absorbing ingredient, which delays the premature reaction between the baking soda and acid. Baking powder is frequently used in cakes because it contributes to the light and airy texture that distinguishes a well-made cake. Cakes would be dense and heavy without baking powder, lacking the delicate crumb that is desired in a cake.
No, baking powder does not absorb odors when used in baking.
Baking soda is used in some cake recipes. Other recipes call for baking powder or simply beaten egg whites for leavening.
Baking powder is used in cakes since it is relatively 'taste free' and a quick/easy to use leavener. But baking powder is rarely used in breads - yeast is used as the primary leavener in breadmaking. (Yeast is what gives bread it's bread taste plus irregular air bubbles).
Baking soda is an alternative to baking powder that can be used in baking recipes.
