What is the function of self rasiing flour in a cake?
It allows breads and cakes to rise (by trapping the bubbles in gluten protein molecules). Plain flour can be used but it has to have baking powder added to it to help it rise. Self-raising needs no such additives.
How do you measure 2 cups of flour?
To measure ingredients using a dry measuring cup, first of all be sure that the ingredients you are measuring are indeed dry, such as flour, sugar, nuts, dried fruits, etc. Do not measure liquids such as water, eggs, or milk with a dry measuring cup, as they do measure slightly different than dry ingredients. Dry measuring cups usually have flat tops where you can level off an ingredient and wet/liquid measuring cups usually have a notched spout where ingredients may be poured out.
The technical way to measure dry goods is to scoop the ingredient into the cup and use the flat side of a butter knife to level it off. Try not to shake the ingredient too much in the cup and try not to tap it, as these actions compact it and could throw off your measurement for your recipe. Compacted flour for example, could have an extra Tablespoon or so in it.
One of the few exceptions to this rule is brown sugar. If a recipe calls for "packed brown sugar," press it with your fingers into the cup and level any excess off with the back of a butter knife.
No. The two ingredients have entirely different functions.
Baking powder contains an acid and baking soda, so that when the mixture is wetted the acid and soda react to form carbon dioxide bubbles which in turn causes the cake to rise.
Xanthan gum, on the other hand, is a thickener, stabiliser or gelling agent which is stable at a wide range of temperatures, but is more viscous when cooler.
If you used baking powder together with xanthan gum in the recipe, you could expect a very light and fluffy cake to come out of the oven, which would probably look more like a pancake if you chose to use neither.

How long do you bake a loaf of bread for?
About 30 to 35 minutes.
The actual time depends on the size of the loaf, and on the temperature of the oven. Some cooks like to start baking at about 240 degrees C (460 deg F) and after about 10 minutes reduce the temperature to 180 deg C (350 deg F). Others like to keep the temperature constant at about 220 deg C (430 deg F).
The time also depends on whether the oven is fan-forced, which speeds up the bake, and on the position of the loaf in the oven; higher racks cook faster.
Rolls take about 20 minutes.

What type of flour contains no gluten?
Yes. If you are using for baking cookies, muffins, cakes, quickbreads (like banana) and such, you can use Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Flour*. Substitute into the recipe cup for cup. You'll also need to add about 1 teaspoon for xanthan gum for every cup of flour.
You can't do this with a traditional kneaded bread recipe. The gluten in wheat flour is what makes the dough 'stretchy'. You can make bread with gluten free flour, but you need a completely different recipe. And the final 'dough' will be more of a batter.
I think you also won't be able to sub cup for cup with any pasta you are trying to run through a sheeter, because, again, you need the strength of the gluten to hold the dough together. But something like gnocchi or speztle might work.
*I am not affiliated with Bob's in anyway, I've just used it and know that it works great and is MUCH easier than mixing a bunch of sorghum/tapioca/fava/rice etc flours together yourself.

What would happen if you didn't eat enough fruit and vegetables in your diet?
You wont have a balanced diet, you wont be as healthy and fit. You need five servings of fruits a day for a balanced diet along with other recommended vegetables and protein foods. Fruits supply many important vitamins as well as fiber. There are many advantages to getting these from fruits, besides the great tastes. The vitamin rich fruits contain enough of the essential vitamins that using them eliminates the need to eat larger quantities of other source foods, helping to reduce overall food intake, which most Americans need to do. The fiber in fruits is soluble, which means it is the right type of fiber to benefit your health. Fiber has been shown to be good for avoiding intestinal cancers, stabilizing blood sugars, keeping bowels regular and many other beneficial uses. You can also get specific vitamin deficiency diseases like scurvy and rickets if you don't eat enough fruits. An apple a day really can help keep the doctor away...

Why does yeast create more carbon dioxide when mixed with sugar than with flour or oil?
yes. yeast reacts with sugars in the dough (or whatever you may be using) and carbon dioxide is produced. this is what fluffs up bread and creates the air holes you see in the bread. I used bread too many times in that last sentence. this also means that the yeast and the sugar isn't really a mixture - it reacts.
