Cake flour has less protein than all-purpose flour not less gluten. If you are baking for someone who needs gluten free, Cake flour will not help. You will need a combination of tapioca flour, potato starch, xanthum gum, rice flour, and possibly others. There is also a product called Bob's Red Mill all-purpose Gluten free flour that works pretty well as a replacement to regular flour.
