t is used as a leavening agent. That means to make the dough or batter foam up. When you cook it the plan is to dry the batter or dough while it is foamy to give it a light texture. When you see all the bubbles in cake they are a product of the leavening agent. The main active ingrediant in baking powder is baking soda. Yeast is often used for leavening in heavier dough such as bread
