Chocolate Pudding:
  1. In a medium saucepan, place the milk and cornstarch. Dissolve the cornstarch in cold milk to avoid any lumps.
  2. Add the sugar and heavy cream. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring continuously until thickened, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Turn off the heat. Add the chopped chocolate and vanilla. Stir until combined (the chocolate will melt into the hot mixture).
  4. Using the bottom of a wooden spoon or spatula, poke holes all over the cake and spread the chocolate cream while still hot.
  5. Refrigerate for 2 hours, sprinkle chocolate shavings on top and serve.
