    Place the butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave at HIGH for 1 minute or until butter melts. Add granulated sugar, stirring with a whisk. Add eggs; stir well. Stir in yogurt, vanilla, baking soda and salt. Lightly spoon 1 1/3 cups flour into a dry measuring cup, level with a knife. Add flour and 2 tsp. espresso powder, stirring just until blended (do not overmix).
