Sauerkraut Chocolate Loaf Cake

Sauerkraut as the secret ingredient for ultra-juicy chocolate cake? Sounds kind of strange, but it really works. Don't worry, you won't taste the sauerkraut. Generally I prefer cakes with vegetables in them. Whether it's a carrot cake or zucchini cake, cake with beet, etc. Vegetables turn cakes into a special and very moist treat. If you like your cake a little healthier and nuttier, you can also replace the white spelt flour with wholegrain spelt flour. Leave the chocolate cake to stand in the fridge for at least a day, preferably two days, before eating. It tastes wonderful with whipped cream.

 
  • 125 g Butter, softened
  • 200 g Erythritol or regular sugar
  • 3 Eggs, medium
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla extract
  • 250 g White spelt flour
  • 1 tbsp Baking powder
  • 100 g Dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • Large pinch Salt
  • 250 ml Coffee, at room-temperature
  • 200 g Sauerkraut
  • 100 g Chocolate chips of your choice
  1. Beat the softened butter and erythritol or sugar together until light and airy. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat for 15 seconds after each addition. After all the eggs have been added, add in vanilla extract.
  2. Whisk together the spelt flour, baking powder, cocoa powder and salt. Add 1/2 of flour mixture to the butter mixture, then the coffee, and finally the remaining flour. Mix until the cake batter is well combined.
  3. Rinse the sauerkraut with hot water, drain and squeeze well. Then chop into small pieces and fold into the batter together with chocolate chips of your choice.
  4. Pour the batter into a standard loaf pan lined with baking paper and bake in a preheated oven at 160C/320F for 40-50 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven and leave to cool completely, then remove from the pan.

    Hello,
    The cake looks delicious, I am not a big fan of sauerkraut. I am surprised you can not taste it. Thanks for sharing. Take care, have a great day and a happy weekend!

    I used to make a variation of this cake years ago and it was good but the addition of the chocolate chips and using an alternate flour sounds much better.

    I bet this is amazing. You've inspired me to go make a chocolate loaf today. Too bad I don't have any sauerkraut or I would use it.

    Aunque los bizcochos con verduras me gustan, no sabría decir con chucrut, no me imagino que sabor tienen. Lo que está claro es que el tuyo tiene un aspecto maravilloso.

    I've always loved sauerkraut thanks to all the German ancestry in both our families! I would have never thought to add it to cake, but it sure looks yummy!!! It may be the only way Bill will eat it! Have a great weekend, Angie!
