Baking powder is used in baked products as a volume enhancer and improving the texture of the baked product. Since it was not used, the cake came out hard and small.
Baking powder is a chemical leavening agent, a mixture of carbonate or bicarbonate and a weak acid. The reaction among these chemicals cause release of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide enlarges the bubbles in the bakery batter, making it expand.
