Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch round springform pan or round cake pan with parchment paper and grease it well.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and brown sugar. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring in between, until the butter melts.
Let the melted butter and sugar mixture cool for about 5 minutes while preparing the dry ingredients.
In another bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Whisk oil into the melted butter and sugar mixture, then add eggs and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
Sprinkle the dry ingredients over the wet ingredients and whisk until just a few streaks of flour remain. Gently fold in the chocolate chips using a silicone spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for 32-38 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out with moist fudgy crumbs. Allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack.

Notes

Greasing the pan well ensures easy removal of the cake after baking.
Oven temperatures may vary, so keep a close eye on your cake during the last few minutes of baking.
Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best flavor.
