Recipe Calls for cake flower?

Can I use all purpose instead? its for a yellow cake.Recipe Calls for cake flower?
Cake flour can be made by sifting together 3/4 cup+2tblsp all-purpose flour and 2 tblsp cornstarch. This bulks up the flour's starch content.Recipe Calls for cake flower?
Cake flour is made from a different wheat. It has a lower protein content, therefore less gluten. You can use all purpose flour, but it will not have the tender crumb and lightness that cake flour would give you. If it's just for you and you don't care...go for it.
Sure you can use all purpose instead of cake flour. The texture will not be as smooth but it works.
