Instructions

Sift Dry Ingredients

Sift flour with cocoa and 1/2 cup of sugar. Three times. Set bowl aside.

Eggs

Add the salt to the egg whites and beat until whites begin to pile. Add 1/2 cup sugar in 2 Tablespoon portions, beating after each addition. Continue beating until mixture is shiny and forms stiff peaks. Beat egg yolks until light and lemon color, gradually adding water and vanilla.

Fold Together & Bake

Fold dry ingredients into yolk mixture until well blended. Then fold yolk mixture into whites. Pour into a jelly roll pan that has been greased on bottom, lined with wax paper and greased again. Bake at 375 degrees for 12 minutes. Cool.

Remove From Pan, Spread Ice Cream, Roll-up

Dust top of cake with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar, if you prefer. Lay a clean, dry flour sack towel over the cake. Grab both ends of the towel covered sheet (holding the towel too) and flip over so the top of the cake is now resting on the towel. Lift off pan and wax paper. Spread the ice cream evenly across the cake. Lift one end of the towel to help get the roll started and repeat until all rolled up. Wrap in aluminum foil and freeze until ready to serve.
