Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a Bundt pan by spraying 2 Bundt cups with baking spray (contains oil and flour) and bring your eggs to room temperature.
Using either a hand-held or stand mixer set at a low speed combine cake mix, instant pudding, egg, water and vegetable oil. Gradually increase the speed to medium-high mixing for a total time of 2-minutes to fully incorporate ingredients. Fold chocolate chips into the batter using a rubber spatula.
Divide batter evenly between prepared cups, smooth tops and gently tap tray on counter to release air bubbles. Bake the cakes until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 20 – 22 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through baking.
Let the cakes cool in bundt pan on wire rack over baking sheet for 10 minutes, before removing from pan to cool completely on rack, about 1 hour.
For the chocolate glaze:
Microwave chocolate chips and cream in medium bowl at 50% power, stirring occasionally until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth, 1 to 3 minutes. Pour glaze overtops of cooled cakes, letting glaze drip down sides. Let the glaze set before serving, about 1 hour.
