Something I didn't know:

Prior to the invention of baking powder in 1856, home cooks relied on acidity to lift their cakes, often in addition to an alkaline leavener. “The idea of using a sour product of fermentation to aid in the rising of a cake isn’t so strange,” Katz says.

I sort of thought baking powder always existed... the article is about chocolate cake made with sauerkraut:

I've never had it, far as I know, but I think it might be good.
