I agree with Medtran that "do" means ditto. If you check out this wiki article, there's an example of an ad from 1833 that shows it being used.
Look under where it says "Shape":
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ditto_mark
In the case of "do do" it represents the two words "large cup" from the line above.
If you replace every instance of "do" in the recipe with a double quote character (the modern abbreviation for ditto) you'll see it makes perfect sense.
