I made this cake for Thanksgiving and it was a hit! I added the cayenne pepper, cinnamon and used regular brewed coffee instead of the water or strong coffee. Not too sweet for the men in our group, but definitely decadant enough for the women! Moist, chocolatey, flavorful: hard to believe it is actually not bad for you! I will defintely be making it again. I think it would be wonderful with canned cherries on top!

I found it to be a 'heavier' cake as seems to be the case with most homemade cakes. I used whole wheat flour. I did notice that it was done in about 40-45 minutes instead of the 55-60 in the recipe. Everyone LOVED it and it was super moist. We had a couple pieces left that were eaten the next day and they were still wonderful! Everyone asked for the recipe and I'll definitely be making this one again!

Made it and found it to be very heavy. A day later it was harder and heavier. No sauerkraut taste but not the moist 'cake' I expected. What on earth went wrong? I followed the recipe – in an unfamiliar oven. Could it have been in too long? Suggestions would be appreciated…..

I want to try this. Can I use gluten free all purpose flour? If so what kind. I need to make a special cake for my grand daughter no wheat, eggs or milk. Butter and sugar are OK.

Cake is delicious. Recalculated points for new weight watchers points plus. 14 servings is 6 points plus.

I made this for by boss on his birthday as he was on weight watchers. I used strong coffee instead of plain water and I used the special dark unsweetened cocoa and it was a bit hit. Everyone loved it. I also made it for other unsuspecting guests and they too loved the cake. Will make it many more times – it is so rich you only need a small piece.

Hmmm….try draining and rinsing the sauerkraut first, and then add a bit of water when you puree it. Some brands of sauerkraut are just stronger in flavor than others, too. Maybe try a different brand and see if that'll make a difference. Hope it turns out better for you next time!

Unfortunately, I don't have the nutritional stats for most recipes…only the Weight Watchers Points. For many of the recipes I create, I use the Weight Watchers Recipe Builder, which uses an pre-set online database of food Points values. Sorry! Wish I could be more helpful.
