Chapter I

2 eggs
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of flour
1/4 a teaspoonful of salt
2½ level teaspoonfuls of baking powder
1 teaspoonful of vanilla extract
1/3 a cup of hot milk

Beat the eggs without separating the whites and yolks; beat in the sugar, fold in the flour, salt and baking powder, sifted together, then beat in the milk. Bake in a shallow pan. Turn upon a cloth, trim off the edges, spread with jelly and roll. The cake must be rolled while hot.
