Recipe for coffee cake (I think). Some of the writing has faded a bit and is tough to make out:
6 cups flour
1 cup butter
1 cup of coffee prepared as from the label
1 cup molasses
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of raisins
1 teaspoon soda
Spice with cloves and cinnamon
Found in the 1886 edition of "The Centaur Almanac and Cook Book."
Here are a few more scans of that old almanac:

I enjoy following your blog, and this post is lots of fun. I think I'll try the coffee cake recipe, and maybe some of the others, too. Thanks.
