Sift the all purpose flour a few times, and measure out 2 tablespoons less per cup. Cake flour is lighter, it's actually a different type of flour but you can use regular.

Cake flour is milled from soft wheat so that the cakes come out with a finer texture but you can subsitute all purpose flower for cake flour by subtracting a quarter of a cup of all purpose flour from your recipe. As the above person suggests, I would shift the flour before measuring. Have fun baking!
