This is a well worn handwritten recipe card from the same author as Dutch Apple Cake [1] and Cookies [2]. I believe I’ve interpreted the writing accurately, but no guarantee.
The recipe lists the ingredients, but no directions or temperature or baking time included.
Molasses Cake
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 well beaten eggs
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup molasses
2 cups flour
last of all
1 cup boiling water mixed with 2 level tsp baking soda.
This is a very thin mixture
On the back of the index card is written:
