All purpose flour is the general, common flour that can be used in most any type of recipe. It is of an average grain size and texture. Enriched flour means it has been fortified with color or nutrients.
Cake flour is much finer. Sometimes it is combined with baking powder, so you have to check the box on the brand you buy because you won't need to add the baking powder in the recipe if the brand contains it. Cake flour gives a much lighter texture. If you need to substitute all purpose flour for cake flour, then use 1 cup minus 2 Tbsp. of all purpose flour for every cup of cake flour called for in the recipe.
you add 1 teaspoon of baking powder to every cup of plain flour
