sugar, salt, warm water, warm milk, baking powder--add flour slowly and beat. Pour
the second batter over the first batter and fold together with a wooden spoon. Pour
the combined batter into a greased angelfood cake pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 1
hour. Test with a toothpick for doneness. Remove from oven and turn upside down
