Answer:

the main ingredient that helps a cake rise is baking powder (sodium bicarbonate); when it interacts with the heat, it creates a chemical reaction that produces carbon dioxide (tiny bubbles) to allow the cake to be light and fluffy.

This is a type of chemical reaction...exothermic (reaction that produces heat) and endothermic (reaction of taking the heat in). Endothermic chemical reaction that changes the batter from the thick liquid state to a firm, fluffy state.
