There is moisture within the cake batter before it is baked. This comes mostly frow water, but also from milk and eggs and oil. As the cake is baked, the heat rises. This causes the moisture in the cake batter to turn to steam. Steam rises, but there is no place for it to escape. This causes the cake to puff up. Also, when the liquid cake batter cooks into a solid, it does naturally expand slightly, too.
