1 1/2 cups of hot water
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup sauerkraut, pureed until smooth
1 tsp unsweetened cocoa

In a large mixing bowl or in a bowl of an electric mixer, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, and 2/3 cup of the cocoa. Add melted butter, hot water, and vanilla extract; mix well. Add sauerkraut and blend throughly.
