In a large mixer bowl at high speed, beat egg yolks 3 minutes. Gradually add 1/3 cup sugar and beat 2 minutes or until thick and pale yellow. Beat in extracts.
Stir together flour, baking powder, and salt. At low speed, add to egg yolk mixture alternately with water until well blended, starting and ending with dry ingredients. Fold in egg whites until no streaks remain. Spread in jelly roll pan.
