 parchment paper, aluminum foil or waxed paper; grease aluminum foil or waxed
 paper generously.  Beat eggs in small bowl with electric mixer on high speed
 about 5 minutes or until very thick and lemon colored.  Pour eggs into medium
 bowl.  Gradually beat in granulated sugar.  Beat in water and vanilla on low
 speed.  Gradually add flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt, beating just
 until batter is smooth.  Pour into pan, spreading to corners.
 
 Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until toothpick inserted incenter comes out clean.
  Immediately loosen cake from edges of pan and invert onto towel generously
 sprinkled with powdered sugar.  Carefully remove paper.  Trim off stiff edges
 of cake if necessary.  While hot, carefully roll cake and towel from narrow
