Ingredients for Jelly Roll Recipe 5

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup flour
• 1½ teaspoons baking powder
• 3 eggs
• 6 tablespoons of hot water

Instructions

1. Mix and sift the dry ingredients, stir in eggs well beaten, add the hot water, beat the batter well, pour into a smooth, well greased pan.
2. The batter should be put one-fourth of an inch deep, for if thicker the cake will not roll nicely.
3. Bake slowly.
4. When done turn the cake onto a sheet of brown paper, well dusted with powdered sugar.
5. Beat the jelly with a fork and spread on the cake.
6. With a sharp knife trim off all crusty edges, roll it up by lifting one side of the paper.
7. The cake will break, if allowed to cool before rolling.
