Definitely getting a workout using sauerkraut recently, & this cake from this recipe was a complete surprise ~ Very, very nice tasting, & that comes from a real chocoholic! Absolutely loved this dessert, & will be making it several times before the end of summer! [Made & reviewed while on tour in Germany with ZWT6]

This is a good recipe! Been around for at least 40 years. I used to tell the kids it was coconut so they would eat it, then they were addicted and requested it. Delicous. Serve with maple nut ice cream!
