Who buys cake flour?

I have never bought cake flour. First of all I have never seen it in the store, not that I was looking for it that hard. Second why do I want to buy a whole sack of flour I am not going to use that often. So when a recipe calls for cake flour I just make up a small batch of my own. It is easy and this is how I do it.

For every cup of flour you want to turn into cake flour...scoop out 2 TBS. of flour from each cup and replace that with 2 TBS. corn starch.

Then sift your little heart out. You want to sift your flour and corn starch 4-5 times.
Then use up your "homemade" cake flour right away or store it in a ziploc bag until you need it. Its as simple as that!
