Yes, you can use bread flour to make a pound cake, but it may result in a denser texture due to the higher protein content compared to all-purpose flour. This can lead to a chewier crumb rather than the tender, soft texture typically desired in pound cakes. If you choose to use bread flour, consider adjusting the liquid in the recipe slightly to achieve the right consistency.

Cake flour cannot be used to make bread because it has a lower protein content, typically around 7-9%, compared to bread flour, which contains 12-14% protein. The higher protein in bread flour helps develop gluten, providing the necessary structure and chewiness for bread. Cake flour, being softer and finer, is better suited for tender baked goods like cakes and pastries, where a delicate crumb is desired. Using cake flour in bread recipes may result in a dense, crumbly texture rather than a light, airy loaf.
No, because cake flour will make baked goods much more dense and heavier.A bit more:While cake flour makes cakes very light and tender, it doesn't have enough gluten in it to make bread, which has to have a much higher gluten content to achieve the right texture, and to aid in rising.
Choose a recipe that includes Sour Cream or Yogurt, and you will get a nice moist pound cake, banana bread, etc.
Bread flour contains a higher percentage of gluten than cake flour. Gluten makes bread dough elastic and forms the structure of bread. Cake flour has less gluten so that the cake "crumb" is tender, not bread-like. Depending entirely on the type of cookie you are making, you might get an acceptable result with bread flour, but the texture of the cookies might be tough or chewy rather than tender and crumbly.
Plain flour is most likely all purpose flour. It will work just fine for bread, but bread flour is specifically blended for bread making. It has more gluten which is what forms the bubbles in bread and helps it rise better. Plain flour is milled, blended and produced slightly differently than that for bread flour. Bread flour is much more of a stronger flour, whilst plain white flour is not. Both flours (whilst bread flour being the best to use for bread), need raising agents, since the flours are heavy. The most commonly used agent is yeast, in small amounts depending on size of loaf. Better results are achieved with using bread flour. So if you want to make bread then best use bread flour for better results and much tastier well balanced bread.

I need two cups of bread flour. I have ap flour and cream of tartar though. How do I make bread flour from what I have?
From a pound of whole-wheat flour, you can typically make one to two loaves of bread, depending on the specific recipe and other ingredients used. A standard bread recipe usually requires about 3 to 4 cups of flour, and one pound of flour is approximately 3 ½ cups. Therefore, you can usually expect to bake one loaf, or potentially two smaller loaves, if the recipe calls for less flour.
