THE RECORD

identity

Chocolate, cocoa, whipping cream and sour cream appear in its U.S. ingredients, along with beef-derived gelatin. [2]

THE RECORD

history

An October 2008 Emeryville review names Chocolate Overload cake. By March 2016, Peilin Corbanese was photographing layered chocolate slices with chocolate shavings in IKEA New Haven’s display case. Those local records precede the undated U.S. label, without establishing an unchanged recipe. [5] [3] [2]

THE RECORD

nutrition

The table covers the labeled slice. Egg, milk, wheat and soy are listed allergens. The label describes vitamin D, calcium, iron and potassium as not significant sources; it gives no numerical amounts for those nutrients. [2]

THE RECORD

prices

Two October web checks recorded different amounts, preserved as separate observations in the table. Neither supplies the exact change date or a serving weight for the priced item. [1]

THE RECORD

distinctions

The Emeryville reviewer was mildly favorable. Corbanese praised the chocolate flavor and soft texture in New Haven. For January 2017 visits to West Chester, Ohio, JDWilliamson-CP liked the moisture and flavor, while hunt4702 disliked both chocolate cake and cheesecake. These are individual reactions, not evidence of a uniform recipe change. [5] [3] [4]
