The only complaint was that there was a bitterness in the aftertaste. Not to be deterred, I have tried again and modified the recipe a little. Here's what I did: I rinsed the sauerkraut in a strainer prior to pureeing. I also added about 1/4 cup of applesauce to the sauerkraut to make it easier to puree. I wanted to try a different pan (sheet cake like) so I used the large stoneware pan from Pampered Chef (I LOVE stoneware - - you don't have to oil the pan, just put the batter in it). At 350 degrees it took the cake 22 minutes in my oven. Hubby tried it and said the cake was much better than before. Maybe because I rinsed the sauerkraut, maybe because he had a brownie sized piece, maybe because of the applesauce?? Not sure. Either way, a little powdered sugar sprinkled on top and my teens love it! Going to fake everyone out at work tomorrow. I made this cake for our Superbowl party and no one could guess what was in it.

My wife made this for us. I have decided that besides that, she does love me and we will stay married. We are going to seek marriage counciling as I am pretty sure she tried to poison me with this terrible cake. Next time we will save the trouble of cooking and eat a pile of dirt. YUCK!

If you like eating sponges with no sweetness than this is the cake for you. It even smells funny. True, batter tastes great (before baking) and you cannot detect the sauerkaut at that time. But save yourself the disappointment and make something else. BIG THUMBS DOWN. :( Tastes like someone pooped in my mouth. Seriously bad. This cake was awful.

It's currently in the oven. It smells DIVINE and, judging from the batter, it's going to be FAN-FLIPPIN-TASTIC! My husband and son (both who can't stand sauerkraut) tasted the batter and were shocked at how great it was and not being ale to taste the sauerkraut. I'm going to have a really hard time not tasting the cake until tomorrow evening!

I hadn't tried it before I went, and was horrified to find out that one of the guests was a published chef. But the hostess served the cake (great texture!) and the cake was FANTASTIC (in my humble opinion). The chef asked for the recipe! (Credit to LaaLoosh cited!) Excellent moist, dark, rich, but not-too-sweet cake - I used Hershey's special dark cocoa and it turned out almost black and very dark-chocolate flavored. (And not a hint of sauerkraut when it is baking or tasting!) Lots of great recipes on your site - thank you!! I just made this cake and brought it to a dinner party.
