Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 Large Eggs -- At Room Temperature
1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
1 Cup Sugar
Juice of 1 Lemon
1 Cup Cake Flour -- Sifted
1 Jar Jelly or Jam
Start oven at 400 degrees or moderately hot. Grease jelly roll pan,
15X10X1-inch. Line bottom of pan with wax paper. Put eggs, baking
powder, and salt into mixer bowl. Beat 2 minutes at high speed or until
light and lemon colored. Reduce speed to medium. Gradually add sugar
and
beat 3 minutes (mixture should be thick and very light colored). Reduce
to lowest speed and add lemon juice, then flour, beating only until
moistened. Pour into pan, bake 15 minutes.
After baking, carefully turn cake out onto clean tea towel (previously
coated with confectioners sugar). Peel wax paper from bottom of cake.
Trim all the crisp edges from cake. Lightly roll cake, towel, sugar and
all--leave rolled up and cool for about 10 minutes on a cooling rack.
Unroll cake. Carefully spread jam or jelly on cake. Reroll cake with
jam
in it. Wrap it in the towel to finish cooling. The final touch, just
before serving, is to sprinkle confectioners sugar on each serving.
