My grandma got this recipe out of the paper like 25-30 yrs ago. It was called Kraut Concurs All Choc Cake. Frosted with Choc cream cheese frosting or Mocha whipped cream. It sounded icky but it is deliscious! The kraut is like coconut in the cake and the cake is very moist. Be sure to drain the kraut really well though. I highly recommend trying this recipe, you'll be surprised!
