The frozen dessert is one of the pinnacles of party convenience. The ability to grab and go or grab, bake, and take is a luxury we’ve all been grateful for at one point or another. This is a fact the folks at Sara Lee have capitalized on since opening their first businesses in 1935—three neighborhood bakeries focused on community. Those bakeries boomed, making Sara Lee a household name, and today, that signature red ribbon logo still fills freezer cases and bread shelves everywhere.

Mug cakes became quite the rage here in the States a few years back, and now, they have made it across the Atlantic to Italy. I was so excited to see Tazza di Torta popping up on menus during my last visit to Rome. I decided it would be fun to take my favorite Italian dessert, affogato, which is simply a scoop of gelato served with a hot pour of espresso on top, with mug cake. The cake is simple and gets a nice rich middle from the chocolate hazelnut spread. Then, the espresso and gelato take you right to the edge, of the mug, and your seat.

When I moved in with my now-husband, he made coffee using a French press. I thought this was very cool—dare I say très chic, though, just to be clear, he is not French. What I quickly learned about the French press, however, was how easy it was to accidentally brew a bitter cup and how annoying the components of the press are to clean.
