I use swan cake flour, have not had any problems. I bake my cakes at 325 degrees.

I use that flour as well, I've never had an issue..
do you weigh your flour? maybe your putting too much in.. icon_confused.gif I have no idea, but I always weigh instead of measuring.

Could you be over mixing?

Are you scooping the flour out or spooning it into the measuring cup? If you're scooping it out then you're probably getting too much packed into the measuring cup, so the cake will be tougher than it should be. If that isn't it, you could be overmixing. If that isn't it, the recipe could be off.
