You can substitute all-purpose flour for cake flour, but realizing that ap flour has more gluten (wheat protein) than cake flour you need to use a bit less, so 1 cup ap flour less 1 1/2 tbs or 4 1/2 oz will equal 1 cup cake flour.
If replacing all-purpose flour for cake flour here is a tip that will actually "make your own" cake flour.
1 cup all-purpose flour - 2 tablespoons
replace the 2 tablespoons of flour with 2 tablespoons corn starch
sift together until thoroughly blended and soft (about five times)
