I have heard of adding some strange things to cakes but years ago when I worked in an office a lady brought in a really moist devils food cake. Her secret was a simple box of devils food cake and the eggs of coure but she added a can of sauerkraut! Have you ever heard of this or tried it. Another one is a diet soda cake. It is just a can of diet soda and one egg white. Well I tried this last year with a cinnamon cake mix, a can of diet ginger ale and the egg white and it was pretty darn good. if you try this one only fill the cake pans half wat because it really rises and is very light.

Sauerkraut in a cake mix? I can't imagine how that would look or taste. I can see the ginger ale and egg white but sauerkraut I would feel like I' wasting a cake mix. How did it really taste and what did it look like?


myLot reputation of 98/100. muscles4me (8434)   ranked 8 out of 1,076 in cake  4 weeks ago

Well the sauerkraut broke down after being mixed with the electric mixer and it more or less made the cake moist, I could not taste the sauerkraut at all. It just looked like a regulat devls food cake.


myLot reputation of 95/100. lelin1123 (4080)   ranked 123 out of 1,076 in cake  4 weeks ago

Oh that is interesting especially that you didn't taste it. Good to know, thanks.

I've heard of the soda, but never sauerkraut! I love sauerkraut, but I can't imagine what it does to a cake!! I made a cake once from a recipe that called for a lot of mayonaise - and I thought that was pretty weird. But my in-laws loved it - and said it was really moist (and they are really picky about their desserts!). I made it for them but I couldn't eat it . . . it just weirded me out that there was mayo in the cake (even though I made it - ha ha).


myLot reputation of 98/100. muscles4me (8434)   ranked 8 out of 1,076 in cake  4 weeks ago

Yea, I forgot about the mayo cake. I never had one or made one though. Cake has enough calories much less adding mayo to it!

Hi ya muscles4me

You think that is weird I knew someone once who used to make a cake using mayonnaise!! It was very delicious I must say but I didn't ask for the recipe because I thought it would probably be more fattening than the regualr ones I make!!


myLot reputation of 98/100. muscles4me (8434)   ranked 8 out of 1,076 in cake  4 weeks ago

I know; mayo is loaded with fat and calories. You should try the diet soda cake. One egg white and 12oz of diet soda. Bake according to box times but the cake really rises so just fill the cake pans half way.


myLot reputation of 96/100. malamar (435)   ranked 1,048 out of 1,076 in cake  4 weeks ago

Actually, you use the fat free mayonnaise in that particular cake, and not all that much of it either. Although it sounds a bit peculiar, it is unbelievably moist and delicious.

Just goes to show, you never know until you try it! Although, I have to admit, the saurkraut thingy does sound a tad, well.....GROSS lol


myLot reputation of 98/100. muscles4me (8434)   ranked 8 out of 1,076 in cake  4 weeks ago

I just might stop by the store today and buy the ingreients and make it so I can let everybody know how it is. This is Thursday and its what I call my goof off day. Its suppose to rain all day so if I get to the stroe early before the rain I will have a good rainy day project. BUT, I am a terrible cake icer. I can never get the icing on right even if it is already made icing.


myLot reputation of 98/100. muscles4me (8434)   ranked 8 out of 1,076 in cake  1 week ago

Have not tried the sauerfraut cake yet my friends. It has been to warm here where I live to heat up the house with the oven. Maybe in a few more weeks it will be about 20 degrees cooler then I will try.

I have never tried nor heard of the sour krout tip, could you taste he sour krout? I have heard of the soda trick though. There is actually a Coca cola cake recipe that his actually quite popular. I have never tried to make nor have I tasted it but from what I have heard it is an amazingly tasty moist and delicious cake, I have been wanting to give it a try, I will make it eventually.


myLot reputation of 98/100. muscles4me (8434)   ranked 8 out of 1,076 in cake  4 weeks ago

It has been more than 30 years since I had the sauerkraut cake but NO it could not be tasted. The diet soda cakes are good.

I have never tried either one. I make a coca cola cake that is really good. Thanks for the tips.


myLot reputation of 98/100. muscles4me (8434)   ranked 8 out of 1,076 in cake  4 weeks ago

Do use a 12 oz can of coca cola? Do you add it to a box mix or is it a scratch cake?


myLot reputation of 93/100. ANTIQUELADY (11061)   ranked 51 out of 1,076 in cake  4 weeks ago

It is a scratch cake. I WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT MY RECIPE I haven't made it in awhile but i think u do use a whole can of coke.


myLot reputation of 98/100. muscles4me (8434)   ranked 8 out of 1,076 in cake  4 weeks ago

I looked up the sauerkraut cake and there are a few different ones for a from scratch cake. If you make one I will be on the way. All Missouri mylotters email me and I will pick you up on the way. I will bring the coffee.

That is strange! Sauerkraut? Wow. I worked in a place that specialized in hot fudge cakes and they added mayo instead of oil to their mix. Talk about a moist cake! I was horrified the first time I saw that cup of mayo go in the mix!


myLot reputation of 98/100. muscles4me (8434)   ranked 8 out of 1,076 in cake  4 weeks ago

I never was much on mayo. I prefer Miracle Whip and that probably would not work as well since only egg whites are used in Miracle Whip.

Haven't tried those. Have heard of sauerkraut, but not diet soda. Have also heard of tomato soup cake. Haven't tried that either. Only mayonnaise cake have I tried, very moise and chocolately.


myLot reputation of 99/100. writersedge (4401)   ranked 5 out of 1,076 in cake  4 weeks ago

That was supposed to be moist.


myLot reputation of 98/100. muscles4me (8434)   ranked 8 out of 1,076 in cake  4 weeks ago

I really like tomatoe soup but somehow tomatoe soup cake just does not sound right.


myLot reputation of 99/100. writersedge (4401)   ranked 5 out of 1,076 in cake  4 weeks ago

People swear it's wonderful. Tomatoes makr me sick.

I've heard of using mayonaise in a cake, also ketchup, but I've never tried it. I have used applesauce, which also makes for a nice, moist cake.


myLot reputation of 98/100. muscles4me (8434)   ranked 8 out of 1,076 in cake  4 weeks ago

KETSUP? I have heard of applesauce added to cake mix instead of oil to make a cake that is reduced fat. I am not sure if I ever had one but I know I never made one.

These are interesting ways to make cakes. I am not much of a cake baker; it’s usually the packet stuff for me! I am puzzled by the sauerkraut as an ingredient and can’t even imagine what the cake would be like. The diet soda cake sounds feasible although I had not heard of it before; it may be one I will try. The sauerkraut, I’m not so sure...


myLot reputation of 98/100. muscles4me (8434)   ranked 8 out of 1,076 in cake  4 weeks ago

Both of these cakes use a cake mix so be brave my friend and try the sauerkraut cake if you can find a devils food cake mix on sale. happy


myLot reputation of 100/100. paula27661 (5063)   ranked 551 out of 1,076 in cake  4 weeks ago

I might just do that...Thanks muscles!

Here is another good recipe where you use a box of cake mix. Cookies, they turn out real good, nice and soft. They remind you of the soft Archway cookies. Take a box of cake mix, any kind. You add two eggs and a half cup of oil, mix and bake 8 to 10 minutes at 350 degress. You can also add applesauce instead of the oil but then the cookies tend to be sicky. Everyone really likes the cookies.


myLot reputation of 98/100. muscles4me (8434)   ranked 8 out of 1,076 in cake  4 weeks ago

I made those alot and shared them with neighbors. I used Cherry Chip and the funfetti with red and green for Christmas time. I like my cookies alittle mor crispy though. Is there something I could add to make the more of a cruncy cookie?


myLot reputation of 97/100. Polly1 (8458)   ranked 111 out of 1,076 in cake  4 weeks ago

Thanks for BR, as for making the cookie cunchy, I don't know. If you let it bake more it might burn, but I suppose you could try that.
