Old-fashioned Jelly Roll

It's funny when a book this old calls something "old-fashioned."  It was hand-written in 1938.

Old-Fashioned Jelly Roll

5 eggs

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 cups flour

2 teaspoons KC (not sure what that is, I'm guessing it's Baking Powder.)

Beat eggs to a lemon color.  Gradually add sugar, vanilla, flour, and baking powder.  Roll out and bake in hot oven.  Have a warm damp towel ready.  When roll is done, roll up in towel and let stand awhile; then unroll and spread with jelly then roll up again.  This will prevent the roll from cracking.

I'm guessing the modern baking directions are at 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes, like most pastries.
