Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt;
set aside. Cream together the butter and sugar in a bowl until light
and fluffy, using an electric mixer set at medium speed. Add eggs,
one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla.
Add dry ingredients alternately with water to creamed mixture,
beating well after each addition. Stir in sauerkraut. Spread batter
in greased 13 x 9 x 2-inch bakeing pan. Bake in a preheated 350
degree F. oven for 35 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool in pan
on rack. Frost with Creamy Chocolate Frosting. Cut into squares.
CREAMY CHOCOLATE FROSTING:
Melt chocolate in a custard cup in hot water. Cool slightly. Combine
chocolate, cream cheese, milk, confectioners' sugar, salt, and
vanilla in a bowl. Beat with an electric mixer at high speed until
smooth and creamy. NOTE:
This is one of those dishes that sound absolutely horrible, but tastes
great. It is also one of those recipes that is a classic but you can
never find in most cookbooks. I have fooled my kids with this as
well as seen it done on TV. Everyone thinks that the sauerkraut is
coconut. So be sure to rinse and drain the sauerkraut several times
when you make this recipe.
