Notes: Grandma's note to me: This was a small recipe I kept working with until I got enough for an angel food pan. Be sure and put wax paper all around the tube and bottom of pan. Important to come out good. Let cool before turning out on a stand. Everyone says it is a wonderful cake. I've made it a bunch! I enjoy doing it but it was a slow time coming. Good luck!
