My mother used to make this and I have been threatening my Husband for a number of years that I would make it for him.. he HATES sauerkraut. Mean aren't I??? This is the moistest cake, and the 'kraut chopped up superfine reminds one of coconut ! Go Figure :-) Be sure to use a white cake frosting on it like Shirleyoma, is my advice too. Thanks for the recipe and the reminder to get to baking again soon.

Wow, this sounds scary! LOL I am sure it is great though...I would have to avoid telling my family about the kraut.

Thank you so much. I have looked for this recipe for many years. My grandmother made this and it is the best of cakes to have for sunday dinner.

Just saw this picture when I was on your homepage, Shirleyoma, so of course I had to check it out. That looks DEVINE and sounds a bit weird, but that's exactly why I MUST try it!! We all love kraut here, so I think it will be wonderful and moist...I will let you know (I won't be baking until the summer heat ends, darn).

Shirley,
This looks so good, but I can't stand sauerkraut, does it tastes like sauerkraut after it's baked? Just looking for something other than coconut and if it doesn't taste like sauerkraut, it may work.

putercop 2 years, 1 month ago said:
Oh yeah, have had this and is so moist from the sauerkraut and no kraut taste. This is unbelievable.
Great post

I LOVE sauerkraut and I LOVE chocolate cakes made with cocoa. I had this recipe and lost it so I thank you very much OmaShirley.
P.S. This really is a pic of me back in 1997 when I taught behavioral and learning disabled / challenged students in High School.

I have never used sauerkraut in a cake before, but have seen it. Yours looks so good that it will just have to be an attempt soon. I love
chocolate anything, and your cake looks very tempting to say the least.

My husband is crazy for this cake. His mother made it for years! He was delighted when I found it-so my next sourkraut purchase will be for this cake. He said it's the closest thing to chocolate heaven that there is...Thanks so much!

I can't believe it! Just what I was looking for. Can't wait to give it a try. I have tasted a cake like this and loved it but didn't have the recipe. Have you ever heard of a Chocolate Prune Cake? Happy Baking! Thanks again.

Sauerkraut cake, what a great idea - thanks! I'm more into kimchi than sauerkraut, though I don't think kimchi would work as well here ;-)

jett2whit 1 year, 9 months ago said:
This is definetely a yummy cake! The saurkraut was always around since I am part Polish, Italian and Croatian. Seems like a staple item at our house when I was growing up. My mom would make this cake and we thought she was "full of baloney" by telling us what was in it. I guess we were thinking about polish sausage to go in the cake as well...I don't know! LOL Jett
