Chocolate Sauerkraut Cake

Heat oven to 350 degrees F and grease two 8 inch round cake pans.

Cream butter and sugar until fluffy, then beat in eggs one at a time and add vanilla.

Whisk flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.

Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture in portions, mixing just until smooth.

Fold in the finely chopped sauerkraut so it is evenly scattered through the batter.

Divide between pans and bake until the centers spring back, then cool completely before frosting with chocolate icing.
