Self-rising flour(self-raising) contains a leavening agent (baking powder) and salt.
Self raising flour makes the cake rise, but if you don't have any you can use plain flour and baking powder which has the same effect. 225g plain flour and 4 teaspoons baking powder, will transform it into self raising flour.
