Someone requested a recipe for a cake with sauerkraut in it.  This
one is from "Farm Journals's Choice Chocolate Recipes".

Chocolate Sauerkraut cake

2 1/4 cups sifted flour              3 eggs
1/2 cup baking cocoa                 1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking powder                 1 cup water
1 tsp. baking soda                   2/3 cup sauerkraut, rinsed,
1/4 tsp salt                                drained and chopped
2/3 c butter or margarine            1 1/2 cups sugar

Sift dry stuff together and set aside.

Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  Add eggs,
one at a time, beating well after each.  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 baking pan.

Bake in 350 degree oven 35 minutes or until cake tests done.

I've never tried this recipe.  The book claims that the sauerkraut
"almost disappears as the cake bakes and tastes like crunchy coconut."

At any rate, a slab of this stuff would qualify as a vegetable in
my idea of a balanced meal.
