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.
