Sassy Sauerkraut Apple Cake
Sauerkraut cake really isn't about the flavor of the cabbage- it's about the moisture the sauerkraut brings to the table. This sassy cake is full of apple flavor, very moist, and particularly delicious served with a cup of tea. It's great as a breakfast cake or as a dessert after a meal.
