Answer 2

If you're making pound cakes use powdered sugar instead of granulated. Really beat the butter,sugar and eggs until fluffy then fold in the flour don't over mix the flour into the wet ingredients. Check the age of your baking soda and baking powder-if it is old it may cause the cake to be dense.

Answer 3

If you want to modify the recipes you have already used, replace all-purpose flour w/ cake flour and sift before you measure. It's also important to beat in each ingredient very well as you add them. You can also try a classic French Genoise, a buttersponge. I've linked an example, but again, all cake flour works best.
