1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tbsp cornstarch

In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla, and vegetable oil. Whisk in cocoa powder, flour, and cornstarch until smooth and well combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
Spray a 6" round baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Transfer batter to prepared pan and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Pour water into an Instant Pot® and place the trivet in the pot, then place pan on trivet. Place the lid on the Instant Pot® and click into place to close.
