On the "Old South Jelly Roll Cake" recipe, the 1st ingredient says 3/4 cake flour, sifted. Is that 3/4 cup? It doesn't say 3/4 what.

I love this recipe. It's easy and delicious. For Christmas, I spread seedless raspberry jam on it then sweetened whipped cream. With a dusting of icing sugar and garnished with fresh berries, it was very seasonal. I want to try it with ice cream inside, since there's no fat in the cake, I think it will freeze well and serve like fresh cake, that is, not hard. Enjoy!
