1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp instant coffee granules
1 cup powdered sugar
4 oz cream cheese (softened)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a saucepan over low heat, melt together the butter and cocoa powder until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
In a bowl, whisk together granulated sugar and eggs until light and fluffy. Stir in vanilla extract.
In another bowl, sift together flour, instant coffee granules, and a pinch of salt. Gradually fold into wet ingredients until just combined.
