Jelly Roll
Ingredients
3 eggs
1 cup of granulated sugar
1/3 cup of water
1 teaspoon of vanilla
3/4 cup of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/4 teaspoon of salt
About 2/3 cup of jelly or jam
Powdered sugar
Directions
Heat the oven to 375 degrees.
Line a jelly roll pan, 15.5x10.5x1 inch, with aluminum foil, then grease with shortening.
Beat eggs in a large bowl on high speed until thick and lemon color.
Gradually beat in granulated sugar on low speed.
Beat in water and vanilla on low speed.
Gradually beat in flour, baking powder, and salt until smooth. Pour into jelly roll pan; spread to corners.
Bake until wooden tooth pick inserted in center comes out clean, 12 to 15 minutes.
Generously sprinkle powered sugar on a towel a little larger than the cake.
Immediately loosen cake from pan and turn over onto towel. Carefully remove foil. Trim off any crisp edges of cake.
While hot, carefully roll cake and towel from narrow end. Let cool on wire rack at least 30 minutes.
Unroll cake and remove towel. Beat jelly with a fork just enough to soften; spread over cake. Roll up cake and sprinkle with powered sugar.
Makes 10 servings.
