For an enhanced flavor, consider using dark chocolate cocoa powder. Ensure sauerkraut is well-drained and finely chopped to prevent a chunky texture. To prevent sticking, line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper in addition to greasing and flouring. A cream cheese frosting also pairs wonderfully with this cake.
