Yes, I have used cake flour. I really love the way you admit that there is still a place for bleached cake flour ;). Indeed, there is a place for this big sister of a flour, but this new unbleached version, the racey little sister, opens new baking horizons galore. My current baking challenge is to make Daves Killer Bread at home YUM YUM!!! I am working on making my grain sprouting bags out of hemp... I WILL make a good loaf of sprouted grain bread, certainly before I die, I WILL!! So on one hand I sprout the grains for my organic loaf and on the other, I very happily make the light loaves out of the bleached cake flour that we have all grown to love, and yes, crave. And now we have this new player, the unbleached independent flour (scandelous :)) that lands somewhere in the middle. Life is good when one has options and your diligence in bringing us new products that promise new baking horizons is oh so happy making. SERIOUSLY!!!
THanks. I do hope to win your box of flour. I will indeed put it to good use. I cook with children everyday. If I am announced a winner, I would bake a decadent cake for the two men who run our Build A Bike Program to give bikes to poor children here in Olympia, Washington. It is a wonderful grassroots based program that really benefits kids, with no strings attached. They are Mike and Shorty. They have helped me with many a bike challenge and I would love to repay their dedication to cycling and the children who benefit from their efforts with one great big succulent cake. What a great marriage, yummy cakes and then the equipment to burn all those homebaked indulgences off. Now that is a greeat marriage!
Thanks for the flour and the fun idea to win a box. I love your site.

PS I lost 140# so no longer indulge in flour or sugar. But I love to bake for others. Much easier with my hands out of my mouth, honestly. And my kids have become expert testers and quality control engineers for my many baking adventures, some better than others. Ok Enough of me... God Speed to you all and carry on LOL
