Dark Chocolate Cake

I'm a dark chocolate lover! So when I got this from WW I had to try it. SO GOOD! One of the ingredients might sound odd, but trust me, it's good.

By Weight Watchers

Serves 14

1 spray cooking spray
2 c. all-purpose flour
1 1/3 c. sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
2/3 c. unsweetened cocoa
1/2 c. melted butter
1 1/2 c. hot water
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 c. sauerkraut, pureed until smooth (if this is too weird for you just use apple sauce)
1 tsp unsweetened cocoa

Preheat oven to 350*. Coat a Bundt pan with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, baking soda, and 2/3 c. of cocoa and mix. Add melted butter, hot water, and vanilla; mix well. Add sauerkraut (or apple sauce) and blend thoroughly.
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake in center of oven until a tester inserted in center of cake comes out clean, about 55 to 60 minutes. Cool cake in pan for about 20 min and then turn out onto a baking rack to cool completely. Sprinkle with 1 tsp of cocoa powder before slicing into 14 pieces. 1 slice per serving.

Summer Salads!!

Whoa! It's been awhile since I posted on here. I'm totally on a salad kick lately. Mostly because I hate cooking when it's hot outside and also it's a easy and tasty way to get all those veggies and fruits in!!
