Answers:
Ok, some of these answers kinda missed the point - if you can't find baking powder in Spain, chances are you can't find self-rising flour either!

For most recipes, it works to substitute 1 part baking soda for 3 parts baking powder!. So if your recipe requires a TBSP of powder, you can use a tsp!. of soda (3 tsp to a TBSP)!. I've never had trouble with it reacting properly!.

Good luck! I know exactly how you feel!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You can use cake mix if you don't wanna use baking powder!.

And this recipe is ABSOLUTELY delicious and very easy to make;

1 (18!.25 ounce) package chocolate cake mix
1 (3!.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1/2 cup hot water
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C)!. Grease and flour a Bundt pan!.
Combine cake mix, pudding mix, oil, eggs, water, sour cream, and vanilla!. Beat until smooth!. Stir in chocolate chips!. Pour batter into prepared pan!.
Bake for 1 hour!. Allow to cool!.

I assume you do not have a mix, or you wouldn't have a need to ask this!. I think you can use baking soda if you add a little vinegar also!. Another thing to do is beat your egg whites until they are really puffy, then gently stir them in to the flour and other ingredients!. This will add volume to your cake also!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i have never added baking powder to the recipe i use (my nan's) i've actually got to make 200 cakes today so i have been googling to see if i should add baking powder, however a lot of recipes don't ask for it
this is the recipe my nan taught me from a young age

4oz Caster sugar
4oz Self raising flour
4oz butter or marg
2 medium eggs

beat the sugar and butter together, add the eggs then fold in the flour, at gas mark 5!

google for recipes without baking powder, theres loads of them =)

hope this helps

Yes, it's OK, just pour a little vinegar, whichever one you have on hand ( preferably white), lemon or lime juice over your measured baking powder!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i think you could just use self raising flour instead of plain flour!. I hate baking powder it sometimes wrecks it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
