1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup whole milk
For the Cream Filling:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
2 cups powdered sugar

2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 10-cup Bundt pan.

- In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

- Use a piping bag with a long tip to pipe the cream filling into the bottom of the cooled Bundt cake.
- Slice and serve!
Notes
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best results.
If you prefer, you can substitute the vegetable shortening in the cream filling with more butter, though this may slightly alter the texture.
The cake must be completely cooled before adding the cream filling to avoid melting the filling.
