- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup cake-and-pastry flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 whole fruit jelly or jam
- Beat eggs until foamy, then beat in sugar.
- Sift flour, baking powder and salt together and beat into egg mixture.
- Blend in vanilla.
- Grease a jelly roll pan, 17 by 11 inches.
- Spread with wax paper, grease paper, then sprinkle with flour.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and bake in oven preheated to 400 degrees until cake springs back when pressed with finger, 10 - 20 minutes.
- Turn cake out onto tea towel sprinkled with icing sugar.
- Roll up the shorter side, using towel to push cake into place, then unroll, trim off crisp edges, spread with jelly or jam, and roll up.
- Eat ends yourself.
- Let cool on rack.
- Ice with a chocolate butter icing if desired, I like it dusted with powdered sugar.
