Cake Flour in Suburban Maryland?

[pgreen]

Does anyone around the Gaithersburg/Olney/Rockville/Germantown area carry a selection of cake flour? The grocers all have small, overpriced boxes of whatever (Swans Down or Softasilk), but I never see any other brands (such as King Arthur unbleached, which Cooks Illustrated liked a lot), or larger (cheaper) volumes.

If you want to buy a large sack, check George Ruehl--in Hanover, as I recall. They have nearly everything.

I saw King Arthur unbleached cake flour at Whole Foods in Rockville today.

You rock! I know it isn't carried in Annapolis WF, but if its in a store I'm going to have to try to make it up there to Rockville.

I was wondering if they would carry it. I will try to drag myself up to either Rockville or Kentlands to take a look.

I've seen it at other WF's too. :)

I've started using regular White Lily in place of cake flour in recipes that called for it and it worked just as well. It's a soft winter wheat, very low protein flour. Haven't bought Swans Down or Softasilk in years.
Harris-Teeter carries White Lily locally. It's a Southern brand that Southern bakers swear by, probably unknown to the Yankees who publish CI.

Thanks to all. I am still not sure what I will do. I think there is an H-T over in Darnestown someplace, although I have never used White Lily (sounds like it was intended for biscuits, which, of course, like a soft, low protein flour). On the other hand, I may just use the old cheat and add some corn starch to my regular stock of unbleached AP flour.

At least I finally figured out what kind of cake to make--a chocolate chip yellow cake with caramel icing (if I can find a good recipe for caramel icing).

If I recall correctly, King Arthur's cake flour is only available through their catalog (that's what I was told when I called KA trying to locate the stuff about 6 months ago).
