Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper, extending it over the edges for easy removal.
In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee powder in hot water to create a strong coffee mixture. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer on high speed until thick and lemon-colored, about 5 minutes.
Gradually add the granulated sugar to the beaten eggs, continuing to beat on high speed until well incorporated.
Add the dissolved coffee mixture and vanilla extract to the egg and sugar mixture, and beat until well combined.
Gently fold the flour mixture into the egg mixture in three stages, being careful not to deflate the batter.
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
Immediately after baking, loosen the edges of the cake and invert it onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Remove the parchment paper carefully.
While the cake is hot, gently roll it up with the towel, starting from the short side. Allow it to cool completely, seam-side down.
In a medium bowl, beat the non-fat Greek yogurt and light cream cheese together until smooth. Slowly add the powdered sugar and beat until well combined to make the filling.
Once the cake is cool, unroll it gently and spread the filling evenly over the surface.
Roll the cake back up (without the towel) and place it seam-side down on a serving plate. Dust with additional powdered sugar if desired before serving.
Refrigerate the coffee roll for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving for the best texture.
