Why would you use self-raising flour to make cakes rise and not yeast and flour?
Self-raising flour contains a leavening agent, typically baking powder, which produces carbon dioxide when mixed with liquid and heat, causing the cake to rise. This method provides a quick and consistent rise, ideal for cakes, which require a tender crumb and a light texture. In contrast, yeast requires fermentation time to develop, making it more suitable for bread and other baked goods where a denser structure is desired. Thus, self-raising flour is preferable for cakes to achieve the desired lightness and quick preparation.

Normally not. Bread flour is does not contain chemical leavening agents, whereas self raising flour does. (So you'd be adding in additional raising agents which will probably mess up the end result). Also, self raising flour has a lower protein and gluten content, when compared to bread flour; this means that if you were to make bread with self raising flour, it would be prone to collapsing and is likely to remain undderisen/crumbly.
