Delicious....with a secret ingredient that slims it down.

I made this cake for my crafty card making friends. It was greatly enjoyed and several asked for the recipe.
I don't normally like sauerkraut....but don't judge it until you tried it!!! Laura has especially enjoyed it, even with her mouth wired shut...she's been sneaking small pieces through a little space. Such a high compliment for me!! Hope that you'll try it.

Don't mention the sauerkraut until it's been tasted !
