Beat the eggs separately and very light. Do not beat the batter much
after adding the flour, which must be done last of all. Get a square
baking-pan, butter it, and pour one-half the batter in, reserving the
rest for a second layer. Have ready a nice damp towel, lay the cake on
it when taken out of the pan; spread over the cake, jam or currant
jelly; roll it up whilst damp, and when firmly set put it in a place
to dry. It is good eaten with sauce, when for a dinner dish, or it can
be cut in slices and eaten as small cakes.--_Mrs. M. C._
