Which ingredient is commonly used to make cakes rise?

So many uses for baking powder, makes me wonder if anyone ever tried using it to patch a whole or crack in a wall!

Myffa, no it's not!! it's just the name of the cake at Sams club chantilly cake it just has fruits vanilla cream and vanilla cake!! like that is all it had in it! and by the way I'm not even allowed to drink wine!! well... not yet!

Queen Esther, Is that "Chantilly" as in the wine? I must search the recipe.

toothless beachrat, But wouldnt the release of gas cause holes to form?

Nancy, You can also put a container full in the fridge to absorb smells.

I love a chantilli cake!! mhm! they are so good!! I love cake!! I think me and my fam are gonna have some this month for my mom's bday!! can't wait!!

I just cleaned my kitchen sinks with it. I sometimes pour some down the drain to help with odor

So which ingredient can you bake a cake without-all of these can be swiped out, flourless cakes are very good for you, sugar or honey free is popular, etc.

The 3 other choices don't have any thing to do with that.

toothless beachrat, Why not ....
