Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 10- or 12-cup bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, or with a hand mixer in a large bowl, beat together the cake and pudding mixes, sour cream, oil, eggs, vanilla and water. Beat for about two minutes on medium speed until well combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared bundt pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 50-55 minutes or until the top of the cake springs back when lightly touched. Allow cake to cool in pan for 30 minutes before inverting onto a plate or cake stand.
Once cake is cool, prepare the chocolate glaze.
For the Glaze
In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the heavy cream until very hot, but not boiling.
Place chocolate pieces in a heat safe bowl. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and allow it to sit for about 5 minutes. Whisk the cream and chocolate until smooth and thoroughly combined. Whisk in vanilla. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes, until thickened but still pourable. Do not let the glaze sit for too long or it will harden up before you spoon it over the cake.
Spoon the glaze over the bundt cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
