When making a cake the baking powder helps the cake batter to rise when you bake it.

So using baking powder when making a cake is very important otherwise the cake will not rise and will stay flat.

You could still eat the flat cake but it would be better to use the baking powder so that the cake rises like it's supposed too.

The baking powder is a leavening agent that helps the cake batter rise as it bakes.

Baking powder when used in cakes also lightens the texture of the cake by enlarging the air bubbles that are within the cake batter.

Also when making cake be sure to use eggs as without eggs the cake can fall apart.

You need eggs when baking cakes so that the cake binds together and also stays moisturized.

If you bake the cake without eggs the cake will not turn out very good and may fall apart.

The eggs in cakes and other baked goods are very important at making the cake turn out good as well as any other baked goods.

The eggs when added to cakes help to bind the cake together as well as create structure and stability within the cake batter.

The eggs also help add moisture to the cake which is also important and also help to glue the cake together so that it doesn't fall apart.

You can make a cake without eggs but the cake will not turn out very good.
