1950 CHOCOLATE SAUERKRAUT CAKE (think coconut) image

My mother-in-law had put this recipe in her 1950 Indiana Church Cookbook.I I have had the recipe since then, and have baked it many times. It is always liked by my family and friends. In 2007, The Spokane Review Newspaper was asking for unusual recipes to publish. I entered this recipe, and they published it Dec 23, 2007....

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 c butter...softened
1-1/2 c sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 c cocoa
1 can(s) 8 oz, canned sauerkraut, drained & rinsed with water. drain again, and chop

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl beat the sugar and eggs one at a time, beating together till light. Beat in the softened butter, and vanilla.
  • 2. In a second bowl add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa. Mix well. Add this to the above creamed mixture. Stir in cut up sauerkraut. Add the water and mix all together. Put in a 9x13 cake pan. Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes. Let cool an a rack. I normally just sprinkle cooled cake with powdered sugar.
