Cake flour and self rising flour are different.
Cake flour is a low gluten flour (Swans Down or SoftsSilk are brand names).
Self-rising flour is all-purpose flour that has baking powder added to it.
From the Joy of Baking website:
Cake flour has a 6-8% protein content and is made from soft wheat flour. It is chlorinated to further break down the strength of the gluten and is smooth and velvety in texture. Good for making cakes (especially white cakes and biscuits) and cookies where a tender and delicate texture is desired. To substitute cake flour for all-purpose flour use 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons cake flour for every cup of all-purpose flour. Make your own - one cup sifted cake flour can be substituted with 3/4 cup (84 grams) sifted bleached all-purpose flour plus 2 tablespoons (15 grams) cornstarch.
Self-Rising flour has 8-9% protein and contains flour plus baking powder and salt. I do not use this type of flour because I prefer to add my own baking powder and salt. Also, if the flour is stored too long the baking powder will lose some of its strength and your baked goods will not rise properly. If you want to make your own add 1 ½ teaspoons (7.5 grams) baking powder and ½ teaspoon (3.5 grams) salt per cup (140 grams) of all-purpose flour.

NO cake flour & self- rising are not the same ; cake flour is enriched for cakes ( it has a lighter & finer texture that self- rising flour) but you can still use cake flour for cakes( it isn't necessary to use cake flour for cakes; but most people use self-rising for cakes ) but if you make and angel food cake that recipe specifically calls for that

Self raising flour is refined wheat flour that has baking powder added to it. If your recipe calls for self-raising flour and you only have cake flour simply add 1½ teaspoons of baking powder for every cup of flour. .....

No, they are not. Cake flour is low-gluten and self-rising flour as baking soda and salt added.
You can concoct your own self-rising flour, but you can't make your own cake flour.
