Jelly Roll (A Find From Mom's Recipe Collection)

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375, grease a 10 by 15 ½ by 2 inch with a 1 inch edge, line with waxed paper or parchment, grease paper lightly

Step 2: Separate yolks into a medium large bowl, the whites in another

Step 3: Beat yolks until light and foamy, add sugar, extract and water beat well

Step 4: Sift flour, salt and baking powder together into a bowl, fold into the yolk mixture a quarter at a time mixing well

Step 5: Beat egg whites until stiff enough to stand in peaks then carefully fold into the yolk mixture blending evenly being careful not to deflate

Step 6: Pour evenly into a prepared jelly roll pan, bake 12 – 15 minutes until sponge is golden and springs to the touch, test with tooth pick should come out clean

Step 7: While cake is baking sprinkle clean tea towel or cloth with granulated sugar, when cake is done immediately turn out onto tea towel, peel off paper and trim away edges from cake (these days instead of a knife I use a pizza cutter to cut the edges)

Step 8: Beginning at the narrow edge roll up edges with cloth as a guide the towel in between, cool on cake rack

Step 9: When cool unroll cake spread with jam or jelly and reroll. Place on serving platter and slice just before serving
