I use cake flour. I think the texture is better.

what exactly is cake flour?

we have plain flour or self raising flour down here and both can be used for cakes, just depends on what you are baking

I use AP, but only because cake flour is hard to come by in large quantities around here.

I like cake flour better, but it's hard to find in bulk, I find that AP Flour makes the cake more dense.

Cake flour is thinner than regular flour and it has less gluten, making the cake softer and tender.

depends on the recipe. Pound cake needs AP flour. My chocolate cake recipe specifies AP. Pretty much everything else uses cake flour.

I use White Lily AP flour, which is much softer than regular AP flour. I love it.
