This is only a guide. Anything that needs to rise or uses self-raising flour. This is because if you do not have any SR flour you can use plain flour and baking powder. Also using baking powder you can control how much food will rise. This is especially useful for cakes as all ovens are different. Other recipes that may use baking powder could be scones and some biscuits.
Can you substitute baking baking powder for baking soda?
Yes, but you should only use 1/3 of the amount of baking powder specified, when switching to baking soda. i.e do not substitute on a 1:1 basis. Baking powder is a 1:3 ratio of baking soda to cream of tartar. So although baking soda is not exactly the same as baking powder, it is also far stronger. Your cookies will turn out slightly differently, but using baking soda is better than leaving out both leavening agents, since this will result in really hard cookies. Alternatively, use self-raising flour and miss out baking powder and soda.
