Yes, baking powder significantly affects the size of cupcakes. It acts as a leavening agent, producing carbon dioxide gas when mixed with moisture and heat, which causes the batter to rise and expand during baking. If the right amount of baking powder is used, it helps achieve a light and fluffy texture; however, too much can lead to overly large, dense, or even collapsed cupcakes.
