How to Make Grandma Chics Jelly Roll 1968

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 10 1/2 x 15 1/2 inch jelly roll pan. Line with parchment paper, greasing lightly.
  2. Sift together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat 6 large egg whites with 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 6 large egg yolks, 1/2 cup water, and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until pale and thick.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the yolk mixture, folding gently until just combined.
  7. Carefully fold in the beaten egg whites until no streaks remain.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. While the cake is baking, sprinkle a clean kitchen towel generously with granulated sugar.
  11. Immediately after baking, invert the cake onto the sugared towel. Carefully peel off the parchment paper.
  12. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, trim the edges of the cake.
  13. Starting from the narrow end, gently roll the cake up in the towel. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  14. Unroll the cake and fill with your choice of preserves, whipped cream, or other desired filling.
  15. Reroll loosely if desired and serve!
