Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 4 tablespoons cold water
- 1 cup flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Jelly
Instructions
- Beat egg yolks, add sugar gradually, beating well after each addition.
- Add water and beat well.
- Mix and sift flour with baking powder and salt, add to the first mixture and beat again.
- Add vanilla. Fold in egg whites, beaten stiff.
- Pour into a rectangular pan, nine and one-half by fourteen and one-half inches, three-quarters inches deep, which it will fill to the depth of a quarter of an inch.
- Bake in moderate oven for 20 minutes at 325 degrees.
- Be careful not to overbake the cake or it will have a hard crust that will be difficult to handle. The minute it is done turn out on a sugared cloth. Cut off the edges, for they harden quickly and break in rolling.
- Spread with jelly, and coax gently into a smooth roll, wrapping the cloth about it as you proceed. Leave the cloth around the roll for a short time so that it will keep its shape.
