Simple Cake Flour Recipe

A lot of recipes call for a cake flour, but naturally your local grocery store isn't always going to carry cake flour.  Why??  Because 80% of the people buy already made cake mixes.   All you add is eggs and oil.  Yet what about those people that love to actually cook from scratch and in your cook book it states "Cake flour".  If you are like me..the first thing you would do is head to the store. Again...like I mentioned.  There is no cake flour at the store.
I was frustrated. But I wanted to know what on earth is cake flour and is it possible to make a batch at home. I search through recipe books on creating an old fashion cake. The one thing I noticed in these old fashion recipes is cornstarch. 
Viola!!
