Coffee Cake (Mom)

375 degrees 15 min
2 - 12x9 pan

2 cups scalded milk cooled
2 cakes yeast
1/2 cup water
3/4 cups shortening
3 T. sugar
3 teaspoons salt (1 Tablespoon)
1 1/2 cups raisins
4 1/2 cups flour

I heard one of my brothers is yearning for mom's coffee cake.
The word "Mom" in the upper left corner of this recipe card probably refers to Helen Toevs Regier, our mother's mother. But when I see it, I think, "Oh, this is mom's recipe!" After all, she signed her letter's Mom.
So, another question not asked at the right time: when she wrote Mom in the corner of a recipe card, was it telling us that THIS is the coffee cake recipe one (actually two, now that I'm thinking of it) of us is hungry for, or was she reminding herself that it was her mother's coffee cake?
