When tartaric acid is added to baking soda then the baking soda converts into baking powder..the H+ ions from tartaric acid and baking soda after the reaction gives CO2 and H2O and salt from that acid...The CO2 so released helps the cake to become fluffy..

Tartaric acid is added to baking soda, mainly because it make the cake soft and spongy, by releasing carbon dioxide, when tartaric acid reacts with baking soda. Therefore, to make the cake soft and spongy, tartaric acid is added to baking soda.
