Jelly Roll Mixture

1 pound of sugar. 14 eggs-or 1 or 2 less, if large. 1 pound of flour. 1/2 cup lukewarm water. 1/2 teaspoonful of soda-small. Lemon or vanilla flavor. Beat eggs and sugar together until light and thick and increased to three times the original bulk, gradually add the water while beating, with the soda dissolved in it. Stir in the flour just long enough to put it well out of sight, as usual for sponge cake.

Bake on manilla paper slightly buttered, and to get the roll of uniform thickness run the batter out of a lady-finger tube in lines on the paper almost touching, that they may run together and make an even sheet of cake.
