How to make jelly roll:

Grease and lightly flour a 15 x 10 x 1-inch jelly roll pan. Stir together the flour, baking powder and salt. In a small mixer bowl, beat egg yolks and vanilla at high speed for 5 minutes, or until thick and lemon color. Gradually add the 1/3 cup sugar, beating until sugar dissolves. Thoroughly wash beaters. In large mixer bowl, beat egg whites at medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar; continue beating until stiff peaks form. Fold yolk mixture into whites. Sprinkle flour mixture over egg mixture; fold in gently until blended. Spread batter evenly into pan. Bake in a 375° oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until done.

Immediately loosen edges of cake from pan; turn out onto a towel or wax paper sprinkled with sifted powdered sugar. Starting with narrow end, roll warm cake and towel or wax paper together. Cool; unroll. Spread cake with jelly or jam or favorite filling to within 1 inch of edges. Roll up cake. Makes 10 servings.
