Here's What Happens If You Forget The Baking Powder In Your Cake - Tasting Table

When it makes contact with liquid and then heated, baking powder produces carbon dioxide gas and the gas forms bubbles that get trapped in the batter's structure. As the cake bakes, the bubbles expand, causing the cake to rise and become airy. Without baking powder, the batter relies only on mechanical aeration (beating, whisking eggs, creaming butter/sugar), which is not enough to give the same height and softness unless the recipe was designed as a foam cake.
