cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips, melted  
/3 cup mayonnaise  
/3 cup flaked coconut, divided

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time,  
beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine dry ingredients;  
add to the creamed mixture alternately with water. Fold in sauerkraut,  
coconut and pecans. Pour into three greased and floured 9−in. round baking  
pans. Bake at 350 º for 20−24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the  
center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire  
racks; cool completely. In a bowl, combine melted chocolate and mayonnaise.  
Set aside 1−1/4 cups for frosting. To the remaining chocolate mixture, add  
half of the coconut and pecans; spread between cake layers. Spread reserved  
chocolate mixture over top and sides of cake. Combine remaining coconut and  
pecans; press onto sides of cake. Store in the refrigerator. Slice with a  
serrated knife. Yield: 12−14 servings.
