If you bare looking for a plain pound cake this one is great:

I think cake flour is a must and it needs to sit overnight before eating.

You will not get the same texture with a/p flour.

When I don't have cake flour in the house I use this recipe Cake Flour Substitute recipe #87689. I've always had good results with it. Mean Chef is right, you won't get the same results with all-purpose in a cake flour recipe.

HTH,
