In the cake, 3 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted. Frosting, 16 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped. Thats the amount of chocolate listed. (This was to the person that didn't know how much chocolate was in the recipe). Hope that helps!

The reason this was in Light & Tasty was because they did a makeover version on the same page in the magazine. This one must have accidentally gotten switched with the healthier version on the website.

I haven't seen a lot of recipes in the Light and Healthy magazine that would really fall into that catagory.

Why is this under "healthy" category? 112 g of carbohydrate will make even the healthiest person's blood sugar soar. Also 816 calories and 41 g of fat is not a healthy dessert.
