SAUERKRAUT CHOCOLATE CAKE image

Number Of Ingredients 11

2/3 c drained sauerkraut, firmly packed
2 1/4 c sifted flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 c cocoa powder (Dutch-process, if possible)
5 1/3 oz (10 2/3 Tbl) unsalted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 c sugar
3 large eggs
1 c cold water or strong coffee, cooled

Steps:

  • Oven to 350. Butter 2 9-in. cake pans, lined w/ parchment paper, dust w/ bread crumbs (I use more cocoa). Put sauerkraut in large bowl, add cold water to cover, rinse thoroughly, drain & squeeze a bit (but not too much). (May still smell like sauerkraut, that's okay). Chop sauerkraut by hand or in food processor, for 10-15 seconds. Sift flour, salt, baking powder & soda, and cocoa. Set aside. Beat butter till soft. Add vanilla, sugar, eggs 1 at a time. Add sifted dry ingredients in 3 additions alternating w/ water (or coffee) in 2 additions. Stir in sauerkraut. Bake for approx 30 min, just until top barely spring back when lightly pressed. Do not overbake. Let stand in pans a few minutes. Frost w/ a chocolate & sour cream icing (1 lb milk chocolate, 1 c sour cream-- melt chocolate in double boiler until melted. Transfer to electric mixer bowl, add 1 c sour cream, beat until smooth. Use immediately)
