Jelly Roll

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

1. Beat egg yolks, add sugar gradually, beating well after each addition.
2. Add water and beat well.
3. Mix and sift flour with baking powder and salt, add to the first mixture and beat again.
4. Add vanilla. Fold in egg whites, beaten stiff.
5. 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.
6. Bake in moderate oven for 20 minutes at 325 degrees.
7. 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.
8. 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.
