I only know it as a cake roll with a filling -- in 1989 and 1990 and 1991 I won ribbons at the Fair for mine. :-) Two seconds and a fourth. Sponge cake with a jelly filling.

The term abounds in early to mid20th century jazz and blues music.
Many ladies sang of baking the finest in town, while a few sang of reserving it for a particular beau or, more rarely, maintaining it intact. |
