Preheat an oven to 350 °F or 325 °F. Grease and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the butter and sugar. Cream until light and fluffy with a significant difference in colour.
Add the vanilla and espresso powder and mix well until fragrant.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well between each addition. Make sure to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl between each addition to ensure that the mixture is homogenous.
In another bowl, sift together the dry ingredients. Fold them into the butter and egg mixture.
Transfer the batter to the baking pan. Spread the batter into an even layer. Place in the oven for 15 to 18 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out with a few crumbs, but no raw batter.
Allow to cool and place in the fridge for four hours before cutting and serving.
