I have the cake bible book . The recipe calls for "cake flour". Is there a particular brand that you prefer over another.
Thank you for your suggestions.

The only one I have ever used is Swan that you can buy at Walmart.
All purpose flour is made up of both hard and soft wheats, and has a medium gluten content.
Cake flour is made of soft wheat, with higher starch and lower gluten content than all purpose flour; this makes your cakes more tender, with a finer texture.
In some recipes I can really notice a difference in the flour used, others not so much. Most times I just use all purpose flour and cornstarch.
