Sauerkraut Cake

ADVERTISEMENT

If you’re looking at this luscious, delicious chocolate cake and wondering if there’s really sauerkraut in it then the answer is “yes”! But, don’t worry- this isn’t a sauerkraut cake. What I mean by that is that it doesn’t taste like sauerkraut at all. This German condiment adds a lot of moisture and texture to the cake, but you’d never know that there’s sauerkraut in the batter! It’s kind of like when you add applesauce to a cake and you never really taste much apple flavor.
