Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease the bottom only of a 9x13-inch glass baking pan.
- Combine cake mix, water, oil and eggs in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until well combined. Pour into the prepared pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 29 to 34 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- Poke 12 holes in the cooled cake with the base of a serving spoon or any utensil that has a rounded bottom.
- Whip whipping cream, adding sugar and vanilla when it's about halfway whipped; you want it to hold its shape, but don't overwhip.
- Pour coffee over the cake, then immediately spread whipped cream evenly over top. Dust with cocoa powder, covering it completely. Cut and serve or chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

AFFOGATO
L'affogato al caffè, a dessert of gelato drowned in espresso, is "one of Italy's most delectable modern dishes," writes Anna Del Conte in her "Gastronomy of Italy." The ice cream can be fior di latte, vanilla or chocolate, or whatever you like. Dulce de leche, with its caramelized milkiness, would be wonderful, as would cherry amaretto. The magic of affogato is that you get two pleasures in one: a spoonable dessert sauced with coffee, and a cream-blushed drink to chase it. The sweet ice cream and bitter coffee should enhance, not overtake each other. Like the best partners, they should meet in the middle.

Steps:
- Make the espresso first so it can sit while you scoop the gelato. If you don't have a moka pot or an espresso machine, run to the nearest coffee shop.
- Add the very cold gelato to a small shallow bowl or glass that's been chilled in the freezer until frosty and cold to the touch.
- Slowly pour the hot espresso in a thin stream directly over the gelato, draping the entire surface of the scoop with an even layer of coffee. You can add a splash of amaretto here if you'd like (the almond flavor would be welcome), but the best affogato is a simple affogato. Just be sure to start eating it before the gelato completely melts: In each bite, you want solid spoonfuls of the gelato thinly draped in coffee.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the tiramisu affogato will be. Use fresh espresso, good-quality mascarpone cheese, and ladyfingers that are not too soft.
- Make the tiramisu ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld and the tiramisu to set properly. You can make the tiramisu up to 2 days in advance.
- Don't over-soak the ladyfingers. They should be just slightly soaked through with the espresso mixture. If you over-soak them, they will become too soft and fall apart.
- Use a fine mesh strainer to strain the espresso. This will help to remove any sediment from the espresso and make the tiramisu affogato smoother.
- Serve the tiramisu affogato immediately after it is made. This is when it is at its best. You can garnish it with a dusting of cocoa powder or grated chocolate, if desired.
Conclusion:
Tiramisu affogato is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a combination of two classic Italian desserts, tiramisu and affogato, and it is sure to please everyone. With its creamy, coffee-flavored filling and crispy ladyfingers, tiramisu affogato is a dessert that you will want to make again and again.
