Heat oven to 350ºF. Grease and flour two 8" round cake pans and line bottoms with waxed paper.
Rinse sauerkraut well and squeeze thoroughly dry. Peel, core and coarsely grate apple. Squeeze dry. Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and nutmeg in medium bowl; set aside. Mix sugars in large bowl, breaking up any lumps. Whisk in eggs, then oil; stir in sauerkraut, apple and nuts. Add flour mixture, stirring just until moistened. Spoon into prepared pans and bake about 35 minutes, until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean and cake begins to pull away from sides of pans.

Whip cream cheese, slowly adding sugar, until fluffy. Add cream, orange rind, cinnamon and vanilla; mix well. Makes 2 1/4 cups.
