For your Super Bowl party spread, stock up on avocados, but not only for guacamole. Tomato sauce, too, but not only for pasta. Baked beans and sauerkraut, but not for topping hot dogs. And make sure you have enough Coca-Cola (www.thecoca-colacompany.com/heritage/recipes/html)  on hand, but not just for serving with Jack Daniels.

Would you believe -- All of these ingredients can be used to make cake!

Sisters Joan Wilen and Lydia Wilen have assembled recipes for cakes with the craziest ingredients in the book "Best-Ever Kitchen Secrets" (www.BottomLineSecrets.com) . Wouldn't it be great fun to serve an array of them for Super Bowl and award prizes to the guests who can correctly guess which unusual ingredient is in what cake.

There's an Avocado Cake, a Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce Cake with cream cheese frosting, a Popcorn Cake, an Eggplant Pudding Cake, a Chocolate Potato-Flake Cake, and a Cherry Cola-Chocolate-Mayonnaise-Sauerkraut Bundt Cake, for which we've listed the recipe below:

Cherry Cola-Chocolate-Mayonnaise-Sauerkraut Bundt Cake

2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder, 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, 3 eggs, 1 1/2 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 cup light mayonnaise, 1 cup Coca Cola cherry cola, 1 cup sauerkraut, washed, rained and chopped.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a Bundt pan heavily with vegetable cooking spray.

Sift flour, cocoa, baking soda, and baking powder together on a sheet of waxed paper.

In a large bowl with mixer on high speed, beat eggs, sugar and vanilla extract. Reduce speed to low and beat in mayonnaise. Add flour-cocoa mixture alternately with the cola. Stir in drained sauerkraut.

Baked in your prepared Bundt pan for approximately 45 minutes. Cool 10 minutes. Remove from pan onto serving plate.

Until our next food find... may all your food finds be fabulous!
