Mamaw's Angel Food Cake

This is my mother-in-law's recipe and my family's favorite dessert. It is crazy sugary and a trip to the dentist might be in order after :) 

***side note- My husband is from Southern Kentucky and the cuisine is quite different than the food in the midwest. (I mean this in a positive way, the food is delicious and made with real butter, whole milk and fried) When my mother-in-law shared this recipe with me I had no clue what one of the ingredients was- "1 small can Pet milk". I re-read the recipe a few times thinking- "please God, let this not be milk from an actual pet." To my relief, I Googled pet milk and found out that it is an actual brand of evaporated milk, not from a family pet.
