Ingredients

2/3 cup sauerkraut
2 cups flour, all-purpose
1/2 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup butter unsalted, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar granulated
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1 cup coffee strong, cooled
1 pound milk chocolate chopped
8 ounces sour cream

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Grease and flour 2 8 inch baking pans.

In a sieve, rinse and drain the sauerkraut.

Snip fine and set aside.

In a bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, sugar and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until well combined.

Add the eggs, beating after each addition.

Add the dry ingredients alternately with the coffee, beating until just combined.

By hand, stir in the sauerkraut.

Turn into the prepared pans.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until done.

Cool in the pans for 10 minutes.
