The card also has a second, unrelated and only partly legible recipe written below the wine instructions, seemingly for a spiced raisin cake: 1 1/2 cups sugar, 3/4 cup lard or butter, 2 eggs, 1 cup raisins (floured) and 1/2 cup of the soaking liquid, 1/2 cup sour cream or buttermilk (with water), 1/2 teaspoon soda, 2 1/2 spoons cumin, 2 1/2 spoons allspice, 2 spoons mace or nutmeg, enough flour to make a soft batter, and a level spoon of soda dissolved in water.
Words as written on the card, units spelled out, nothing reworded. Read from the card by Tinfully.
