The 1918 Fanny Farmer Cookbook

Cover bottom of pan with mixture, and spread evenly. Bake twelve minutes in a moderate

oven. Take from oven and turn on a paper sprinkled with powdered sugar. Quickly remove

paper, and cut off a thin strip from sides and ends of cake. Spread with jelly or jam which has

been beaten to consistency to spread easily, and roll. After cake has been rolled, roll paper

around cake that it may better keep in shape. The work must be done quickly, or cake will

crack in rolling.
