Sauerkraut Einkorn Chocolate Cake

Tender, moist chocolate cake made with wholegrain einkorn flour, wine fermented sauerkraut with a milk chocolate glaze and red peppercorns. Do rinse the sauerkraut in cold water to tame the salty and overly sour flavour. And finely chopping it up before adding to the batter so that they won't clump together in a tangle. You can serve the cake unglazed or simply dusted with icing sugar.

Sauerkraut Einkorn Chocolate Cake

inspired by Eat Smarter
BatterGlaze, optional
  • 250 g Einkorn flour
  • 120 g Dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • 15 g Baking powder
  • Pinch of salt 125 g Butter, softened
  • 150 g Erythritol sweetener
  • 20 g Coconut sugar
  • 3 Large eggs, room-temperature
  • 1 tsp Vanilla powder
  • 300 ml Aroy-D coconut milk 17% fat
  • 200 g Wine fermented sauerkraut, rinsed, drained and finely chopped
  • 250 g Milk chocolate, chopped
  • 1 tsp Coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp Red peppercorns
  1. Preheat the oven to 160C/320F. Line a 24cmx12cm loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Whisk together the einkorn flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a bowl. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, erythritol sweetener and coconut sugar with a hand-held mixer until light and fluffy. Add in eggs, one at a time, and vanilla powder. Beat well.
  3. Reduce mixer speed to low and slowly add in about half of the flour mixture. Beat until just incorporated, then beat in coconut milk and the remaining flour mixture. Beat well until you have a smooth and thick batter. Now fold in the finely chopped wine fermented sauerkraut.
  4. Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake in the middle of preheated oven for an hour or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
  5. Place the chopped milk chocolate and coconut oil in a heavy saucepan over very low heat, stirring constantly till the chocolate begins to melt. Immediately remove the pan from the heat and stir the chocolate until it is smooth. Spread the smooth chocolate over cake. Top with red peppercorns. Allow the chocolate to set. Slice and serve.

  2. I’m a big fan of hiding vegetables in recipes,.. this sound just too odd to be true. But then there is all that chocolate and the naturally rich probiotic food in a cake. Mmmmm!

  15. I am totally intrigued, Angie! I would imagine that the sauerkraut adds moistness as grated zucchini does. I don't believe I've ever seen wine fermented sauerkraut but now I'll have to look for it! Wisconsin consumes a lot of sauerkraut :)

  45. This is certainly a new and interesting cake for me Angie. I do like sauerkraut as a side and in soup but I never would have thought of adding it to chocolate cake. It shouldn't sound strange though as we add zucchini and carrots…and it is strikingly pretty.
