What would happen if you didn't add baking powder to a cupcake?

What does self raising flour contain that makes successful cakes?
yeast and baking powderActually, there is no yeast in self raising flour. Self raising flour is flour with bicarbonate of soda and cream of tartar (tartaric acid). This causes a double action rising effect. This is essentially the same as plain flour with added baking powder.
What would happen if self-raising flour is used in a very rich fruitcake instead of plain flour?
Using self-raising flour in a rich fruitcake instead of plain flour could result in a cake with a lighter texture due to the leavening agents in the self-raising flour. However, this may not be ideal, as fruitcakes are typically dense and moist, and the added leavening could cause the cake to rise unevenly or collapse. Additionally, the flavor and overall structure might be compromised, leading to a less traditional fruitcake experience.

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.
