I want to meet the person who first figured this out in the 40's, because I have many, many questions.

"fold in sauerkraut carefully, or what? I'm gonna ruin your disaster?"

This is the best roast for me

[novieivey]

“Either chocolate fixes everything or this is alchemy” my new favorite quote.

[rmontse]

"Thought this was a joke, turns out I'M the joke" Bro, that's me

“I KNOW ITS OPEN”
Dylan yelling at inanimate objects brings me an indescribable amount of intense joy

[kyo]

Dylan whenever something turns out good: "I have several questions"

[Asassy_Fellscott]

“I KNOW ITS OPEN” is such a mood to me

[AkemiStormBorn]

It's definitely alchemy. Definitely alchemy.

But to be honest, chocolate is the universal cure to everything.

The vinegar in the sauerkraut is the same as the vinegar you'd add to a red velvet cake. It IS alchemy— aka chemistry— aka baking.

_"Either chocolate fixes everything, or this is alchemy!"_
God damn it... I was trying to bake a cake, but I accidentally transmuted gold.
_[throws a whole gold ingot in the trash]_

“ or what, I’m gonna ruin your disaster” has me dying

[xxTC-xx]

well they say Alchemy started in the kitchen...guess this proves that XD

my nana used to make me this cake every year for my birthday because she knew it was my favorite. Just seeing this made my heart happy. I miss her so much. Thank you for bringing back some of that love.

Funny thing, my grandmother used to make this cake 😂 I too was initially repulsed by the idea of sauerkraut... alchemy is the only explanation for how good this cake is

[tburkalurk]

“Can a cake be tried for treason?”
That will forever be stuck in my head

[cosmicfails]

I think when you soak it in water it gets rid of most of the actual taste of the sauerkraut and you're left with the natural sugars within the cabbage and the nice, crunchy texture acting like coconut

[Hikari_Heart]

"Either the chocolate fixes everything or this is alchemy." No, it's dark magic.

[annmariecarfagno]

"Can a cake be tried for treason?" Had me dying!! 🤣🤣

[bethmckinney]

"In she goes—I KNOW IT'S OPEN!"

Ah yes, the time-honored tradition of screaming at appliances that don't cooperate.

[maeiia]

"You can use a mixer. I just do this to feel something."
That sentence is relatable on so many levels

[Modtro]

Time for a fun fact!

The reason Sauerkraut works well in this recipe is because first, it adds a nice moistness and tenderness that is buoyant, not dense. Secondly, there is a slight acidic tartness or tang that adds backbone to sweet desserts and actually complements the chocolate, much in the same manner that buttermilk or sour cream does. Finally, there is a nice textural element that is similar to coconut as mentioned in the video.

Sometimes it's better to broaden your mind and learn what works for meats and slaw, can also be used in a sweet application.
