For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate cocoa powder. Ensure the sauerkraut is well-drained and finely chopped to prevent overpowering the cake. Add a tablespoon of coffee extract to the batter to enhance the chocolate flavor. The cake can be made a day ahead and frosted the next day for optimal flavor development.
