Subbing Unbleached Ap Flour For Regular Ap In Cakes.
Baking By Erin3085 Updated 27 Aug 2010 , 4:11pm by LindaF144a
Since AP flour comes bleached and unbleached, I'm not sure which is considered "regular."
However, I wouldn't substitute unbleached flour for any cake recipe that contains a significant amount of butter such as a pound cake - unless the recipe specifically indicated its use.
Interesting article by Rose Levy Beranbaum on bleached vs unbleached flour (new info):

I have done this and I don't like the texture.
There is a famous chef whose name escapes me, but he is mentioned in Bakewise. He uses unbleached flour and cornstarch together. I tried this and got a denser cupcake and didn't like it at all.
However King Arthur sells a Cake flour blend that is basically the same thing. I've made cakes and cupcakes with that flour and they were fine. So I don't know why I couldn't get what I wanted making the combo myself. But I would suggest using the King Arthur flour if you want to use unbleached flour.
