Dissolve espresso powder in water; set aside. In mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs, espresso mixture and vanilla; beat just until blended. Sift together flour and cocoa; stir. Spread batter in greased 9-inch square baking pan. Bake in 350°F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until tester comes out clean (don't over bake) Let cool. FROSTING: With electric mixer, beat together cream cheese, butter, espresso powder and vanilla until smooth. Gradually beat in enough icing sugar to give spreading consistency.
