I remember watching my mother make pizza from scratch as a little girl. Rarely could we afford delivery or even a good freezer pizza, to be honest. But I couldn't care less, because pizza day was a day I could play with my mom in the kitchen. She liked to bake it in cookie sheets for the convenience, so we always had messy rectangles, haha! This year, the memories came back as I yearned to find a good recipe for pizza that could be frozen; something cheaper and healthier than cardboard pizzas in the freezer section.

I drink a lot of coffee, but on some days I get too busy and there's quite a bit left in my French press. The star of this delicious cake is actually leftover coffee from the day. The coffee is used with boxed cake mix in place of any milk. The coffee is also used to make the icing. It gives the chocolate cake a beautiful, deep, rich flavour.
