The three main raising agents in sponge cake are air, steam, and baking powder. Air is incorporated during the creaming of butter and sugar and by folding in beaten eggs, creating a light texture. Steam forms as the batter bakes, contributing to the rise. Baking powder, if used, provides additional lift by releasing gas when it reacts with moisture and heat.
