your cake will be heavier with regular flour but still good you can add a small ammount of corn starch and sift flour five or more times befor measuring and it will make a big difference

They're a different grind and give a different texture. It will still work, but the texture will be a little heavier than the recipe intends - more red cake and not so much velvet. Sift the all purpose and replace a little of it with cornstarch.

they are not the same. cake flour has less protein and will bake lighter and fluffier as a result. substitute 1 cup cake with 3/4 a cup of sifted all purpose, plus two teaspoons cornstarch.
