Cake flour actually made a difference for me

I always thought cake flour was just a marketing thing until I used it for a birthday cake last month. The crumb was way softer and it didn't sink in the middle like my usual all-purpose batches. Anyone else have that moment where you realized something basic actually matters?

And once you try it you can never go back to regular flour for cakes.

Well I'll be, @wendy72. Heard something similar on a baking podcast the other day, something about the protein content making cakes fluffier. Guess I gotta try it now and see what all the fuss is about.
