• 23 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon light corn syrup

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 18 teaspoon almond extract
• 13 cup milk
• 6 tablespoons butter, softened
• 23 cup sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 large egg yolk
• 12 cup packed shredded coconut

1. Preheat oven to 350*F.
2. Butter and flour 12 muffin cups, or line with paper liners; set aside.
3. MAKE THE FUDGE FILLING: Combine the chocolate chips, cream, corn syrup, and sugar in a small, heavy saucepan; cook over low heat, stirring often, until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth.
4. Remove pan from heat; set aside.
5. MAKE THE BATTER: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl; set aside.
6. Add the vanilla and almond extracts to the milk; set aside.
7. In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer on high speed, cream the butter until it is light and fluffy.
8. Gradually add the sugar, beating after each addition, until light and fluffy again.
9. Reduce mixer speed to medium; add the egg and egg yolk, blending until smooth.
10. (The mixture may look curdled--that's okay.)

12. Gently fold in the coconut.
13. Spoon about 2/3 of the batter into the prepared muffin cups; using the bottom of a large spoon, make a depression in the center of each cup.
14. Spoon the filling into each depression, avoiding the sides of the tins and pressing in slightly.
15. Cover with the remaining batter, carefully spreading to cover the filling.
16. Bake about 25 minutes, until springy and golden.
17. Cool 10 minutes in the tins; carefully remove cakes to wire racks and cool completely.
18. Serve plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or frost with your favorite frosting.
19. (A coffee flavored frosting is great!
