Step1
Generously butter 4 six-ounce ramekins and arrange on a baking sheet.

Stir chopped chocolate and butter in a medium bowl in a small saucepan of simmering water. Stir until chocolate mix is smooth. Remove from heat.
Step3
Stir in rum and allow to cool for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step4
Using an electric mixer and a separate bowl, beat in egg yolks, eggs, sugar, vanilla, espresso powder and salt. Beat until thick ribbons of batter fall from the lifted beaters.
Step5
Sift flour over batter and then fold it in. Fold in chocolate mixture next. Divide batter between ramekins, cover loosely and refrigerate. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking.
