- Sift together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and add shortening.
- Beat in 2 eggs and flavoring. Beat until very smooth.
- Separate remaining eggs. Add yolks to batter, beating well.
- Beat the 2 whites stiff and fold inches.
- Pour batter in well greased shallow pan about 15 by 10 and spread evenly. Bake at 375 for 15 minutes.
- When cake is done, immediately turn cake onto cloth well sprinkled with powdered sugar.
- Quickly cut off crisp edges and spread with jam or jelly which has been beaten up to spread easily.
- Then roll the cake from one side using the cloth as a pusher. Leave in cloth till cold, at least 1/2 hour. Do not over beat and do not bake more than 15 minutes. This cake can be made the day before and will be fresh.
- Note: Other fillings might be vanilla or chocolate custard or one of many pudding mixes. Lining pan with greased wax paper will help in getting cake out without breaking it.
