My family and I just moved to sunny San Diego and my DD has been asking for cake. I used Kingsmill Egg replacer in Canada (unable to find but I hope that a trip to Wholefoods will correct that) and Cake and Pastry flour. But on my first trip to my local store, they only had all po. flour? HELP! Is it under a different name? Do people not use cake and pastry flour?

HI
You can order both products from King Arthur flour on www.bakerscatalog.com also cake flour comes in a box not a bag in the grocery stores here.

Cake flour, as peggfci stated, is packaged in a box. Swansdown and Softasilk are the brands. Pastry flour is a bit harder to find. King Arthur definitely has it, and I have seen it in some of the mega stores. The Egg replacer seems to be a Canadian product if you look on the web for Canada Only, they sell Canadian products including the egg replacer. I've never heard of a comparable American product.

Here's a link to an egg replacer. I've only tried it once in a cake, but it worked pretty good.

Also try the bulk or natural foods section of the local grocery. They often have other items than regularly packaged on the shelf and they are definitely cheaper per pound.

and ps. cake flour and pastry flour are the same thing icon_smile.gif

"and ps. cake flour and pastry flour are the same thing"

Close but not quite, cake flour is 7 to 8.5% protein and pastry flour is 8.5 to 9.5%.
