2/3 c. butter
1/2 c. sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. cocoa
2 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. water
2/3 c. rinsed, drained, chopped sauerkraut

Cream butter and sugar until well blended. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Sift together the dry ingredients. Add alternately with sugar to egg mixture. Stir in chopped sauerkraut. Pour in two 9 inch square pans or two 9 inch round pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until cake tests done. Allow to cool, then turn out on brown paper. A chocolate frosting goes well with this cake.
