No-it will be awfully bland with no flavoring of any sort, though!.
Baking powder and baking soda are not the same thing at all and it depends on the recipe-some use both,some only one!. Since you have internet access you should be able to find a recipe to fit your ingredients!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You only need cocoa if you want to make a chocolate cake!. Vanilla essence is optional, but is good to add to a plain sponge cake or muffin recipe, but again it's not absolutely necessary!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I always use vanilla when i bake a cake or a slice,i would concider using vanilla though,If you want to make a chocolate cake yes do use cocoaWww@FoodAQ@Com
