In a large bowl, mix together the vanilla cake mix, eggs, water, oil, mint extract and mint green food coloring. Fold the chocolate chips into the batter. Grease and flour a 7 inch bundt pan. Pour the batter into the bundt pan.

Cook on high pressure for 35 minutes. Quick pressure release. Let cool on a cooling rack for 30-60 minutes. Use a knife to gently separate the cake from the sides of the bundt pan and empty the cake onto a plate.
Using a small pot, heat up the heavy whipping cream until slightly boiling. Pour chocolate chips into a heat-safe bowl Pour heavy whipping cream over the chocolate chips and whisk until smooth. Pour the ganache over the cake and let sit for a few minutes. Allow ganache to set before cutting and enjoying!
