In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until hot but not boiling. Remove from heat and stir in the instant coffee granules until dissolved.
