Making Hot Fudge Pudding Cake is a simple process. Follow these easy steps to create this incredible dessert:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined.

7. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is set and a toothpick comes out clean from the cake part.
8. Cool Slightly: Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
