What is the difference between cake flour and all purpose flour?

Cake flour is much finer. Sometimes it is combined with baking powder, so you have to check the box on the brand you buy because you won't need to add the baking powder in the recipe if the brand contains it. Cake flour gives a much lighter texture. If you need to substitute all purpose flour for cake flour, then use 1 cup minus 2 Tbsp. of all purpose flour for every cup of cake flour called for in the recipe.
