1) Yes, I have used Swan's cake flour before for cakes like pound cake that require multiple steps of sifting. Usually I just weigh my flour, 4 oz. of all purpose= 1 cup sifted, 5. oz = 1 cup unsifted.
2) For the past 2 months I have been making cakes every week for my local soup kitchen in the hopes that some poor soul who is down on their luck can enjoy a special dessert. I would definitely try this cake flour out on an almond pound cake recipe I recently came across.
