Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line jelly roll pan or any baking sheet pan with sides with parchment paper. Grease pan and paper if you use wax paper or foil. Beat eggs for 5 minutes in a small bowl with electric mixer. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt. Pour beaten eggs in large bowl and gradually beat in sugar, vanilla, and water. Now beat in flour until well-mixed. Pour in pan and spread into corners. Bake 12 to 15 minutes. Pour powdered sugar into sifter; using a dish towel, cover towel with powdered sugar. Remove cake from oven and turn out immediately onto towel. Sprinkle with more powdered sugar and roll up in towel. Let cool. Unroll cake. Cover with jelly and re-roll without towel.
