Wow, I find this recipe so intriguing & timely. Just last Xmas l gifted my siblings, a tea towel with 2 of our grandma’s handwriten recipes on it. One was her Sauerkraut Cake!! It was without chocolate though.

I grew up eating this cake, first made by my grandmother, then mother, and since then, me. It is such a rich, and delicious cake, with an unusual ingredient…. But so is my Moms Tomato soup Cake……and it’s delicious too.

In reply to Nancilynn. Why would you make a chocolate cake without chocolate? There are millions of other recipes in the world. Just find another one Sigh….

I reduced the recipe to 2/3 the size since I didn’t need as large a cake as the original. I like the way the sauerkraut adds fibre so it’s a little healthier than many cakes. I also made a topping of ricotta cheese sweetened with maple syrup which to me added a nice contrast to the chocolate flavour. I made the cake for a friend’s birthday and had her try to guess the secret ingredient which she couldn’t. Her family enjoyed the result and I will keep this recipe on file since it’s a success.

Can’t wait to try this recipe! In the ingredient section it says 1 cup water but I didn’t see anything in the directions when to add it?

In reply to SupaSharon. How much of the pineapple and spices would you use for mock carrot cake? Carrots? Thanks!
