Sauerkraut Einkorn Chocolate Cake

Tender, moist chocolate cake made with wholegrain einkorn flour, wine fermented sauerkraut with a milk chocolate glaze and red peppercorns. Do rinse the sauerkraut in cold water to tame the salty and overly sour flavour. And finely chopping it up before adding to the batter so that they won't clump together in a tangle. You can serve the cake unglazed or simply dusted with icing sugar.

Sauerkraut Einkorn Chocolate Cake

inspired by Eat Smarter
BatterGlaze, optional
  • 250 g Einkorn flour
  • 120 g Dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • 15 g Baking powder
  • Pinch of salt 125 g Butter, softened
  • 150 g Erythritol sweetener
  • 20 g Coconut sugar
  • 3 Large eggs, room-temperature
  • 1 tsp Vanilla powder
  • 300 ml Aroy-D coconut milk 17% fat
  • 200 g Wine fermented sauerkraut, rinsed, drained and finely chopped
  • 250 g Milk chocolate, chopped
  • 1 tsp Coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp Red peppercorns
  1. Preheat the oven to 160C/320F. Line a 24cmx12cm loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Whisk together the einkorn flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a bowl. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, erythritol sweetener and coconut sugar with a hand-held mixer until light and fluffy. Add in eggs, one at a time, and vanilla powder. Beat well.
  3. Reduce mixer speed to low and slowly add in about half of the flour mixture. Beat until just incorporated, then beat in coconut milk and the remaining flour mixture. Beat well until you have a smooth and thick batter. Now fold in the finely chopped wine fermented sauerkraut.
  4. Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake in the middle of preheated oven for an hour or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
  5. Place the chopped milk chocolate and coconut oil in a heavy saucepan over very low heat, stirring constantly till the chocolate begins to melt. Immediately remove the pan from the heat and stir the chocolate until it is smooth. Spread the smooth chocolate over cake. Top with red peppercorns. Allow the chocolate to set. Slice and serve.

Chocolate cake is my weakness Angie. I’ve never had a sauerkraut cake, it looks delicious.

I’m a big fan of hiding vegetables in recipes,.. this sound just too odd to be true. But then there is all that chocolate and the naturally rich probiotic food in a cake. Mmmmm!

This is interesting, I never had a sauerkraut, but when it's mixed with a chocolate I need to try it.

This one one of the first ideas I ever saw when I started blogging and it really made me think anything is possible. I never made i with such great flour though Angie. Pink peppercorns are definitely one of my favourites with baked goods too. thanks for reminding me.

How fascinating Angie - the cake looks amazing but I am intrigued by the addition of sauerkraut. You are a wonderful creative baker! The cake looks so moist - who could say no to a slice or two?! Have a happy weekend!

Koko 23/3/17 15:14

This cake looks so rich and chocolatey but holy what!! Sauerkraut in cake!? That ingredient was definitely a shocker...you're such a risk-taker! I have to try this for myself!!

[Reply]
Monica 23/3/17 16:29

David Lebovitz has a chocolate sauerkraut cake recipe in his Chocolate book that looks amazing, as does this one. I haven't worked out the nerve to try it but sure looks good here and glad to know it's terrific.

I am totally intrigued, Angie! I would imagine that the sauerkraut adds moistness as grated zucchini does. I don't believe I've ever seen wine fermented sauerkraut but now I'll have to look for it! Wisconsin consumes a lot of sauerkraut :)

When I saw the name of this post I was questioning it, but the moment I hit the page and saw your pictures my eyes popped out of my head! A moist chocolate cake with chocolate poured over it. WOW! You've outdone yourself Angie. I can't imagine the flavor of this with the sauerkraut but your picture sure sells it as absolutely scrumptious!

Angie , that chocolate cake looks sinful ! Who would have thought by looking at it that it's packed with healthy ingredients ?! I wouldn't mind a slice :D

[Reply]
Karen (Back Road Journal) 27/3/17 16:32

This is certainly a new and interesting cake for me Angie. I do like sauerkraut as a side and in soup but I never would have thought of adding it to chocolate cake. It shouldn't sound strange though as we add zucchini and carrots…and it is strikingly pretty.
