These individual chocolate cakes have a soft center of
chocolate fudge that erupts in a rich, dark puddle from the
warm cakes. They're best served just out of the oven.
For the filling, line a plastic ice cube tray with a large
piece of plastic wrap. With your fingers, gently poke the
plastic down into eight of the cubes so they are fully
lined with plastic. Melt the chocolate with the cream and
corn syrup; whisk until smooth. Add the vanilla, set aside
to cool until tepid. Fill the eight lined ice cube cups
with the chocolate; freeze at least 4 hours, or cover and
freeze up to a month. For the cakes, place rack in center
of oven and heat to 425~.
