SAUERKRAUT CHOCOLATE CAKE

by Ruby Densmore
Time: 10 minutes prep, 30 minutes cook
Servings: 8
 

Directions

  1. Cream well butter with sugar.
  2. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
  3. Sift together dry ingredients.
  4. Add alternately w/ water to egg mixture.
  5. Stir in kraut.
  6. Turn into two greased and floured (I flour with extra cocoa) 8 in. square or round baking pans.
  7. Bake at 350 for 30 min or until cake tests done.
  8. Fill and frost w/ chocolate or mocha frosting.
  9. As something different, I slice the two layers in half crosswise, using dental floss. Then I spread some fruit preserves between the two halves. I use the frosting between the two layers and frost the rest of the cake. I hope that makes sense.

I first made the recipe as a joke on a friend that had said they "HATED" sauerkraut. They actually growled with delight when they tried this cake. Of course they didn’t know what was in it at the time.
