  2. Bake the Bundt Cake: Pour the batter into a greased and floured Bundt pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  3. Cool the Cake: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. Make the Custard: While the cake cools, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk in a bowl until smooth and thickened.

  5. Fill the Cake: Once the cake is completely cool, use a long serrated knife to cut a circle in the top of the cake, creating a well. Remove the cut-out cake piece carefully.
  6. Add the Custard: Pour the custard filling into the well. Replace the cut-out cake piece.
  7. Prepare the Ganache: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the heavy cream for about 45 seconds, or until hot but not boiling. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth and glossy.

  8. Drizzle the Ganache: Pour or drizzle the chocolate ganache over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
  9. Serve: Let the ganache set slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
