Yes, baking powder can act as a raising agent for rice flour in baking. While rice flour lacks gluten, which typically provides structure and rise, baking powder releases carbon dioxide when mixed with liquid and heated, helping to create a lighter texture. It's commonly used in gluten-free recipes to enhance the rise and fluffiness of baked goods made with rice flour. However, the results can vary, so it's often recommended to combine it with other ingredients for optimal results.
