Answers:
Emulsifiers have a number of uses, but basically they keep water and fat mixtures from separating!. They also maintain foams and reduce the viscosity of two phase systems
Propylene glycol (not glycerol) is a non volatile, tasteless solvent used to carry flavours
Guar Gum is used to thicken things like sauces and toppings also to improve the texture of frozen things like ice creamWww@FoodAQ@Com

I'm guessing this is some sort of chocolate cake!? Compare the list of ingredients with the recipe in the link below:
