Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. Melt the unsweetened chocolate and sweet butter together in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, stirring until smooth and fully combined. Let cool slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until they are light in color and thick in texture.
  4. Beat the melted chocolate mixture, honey, warm mashed potatoes, rum (or orange juice), vanilla, and orange peel into the eggs until well blended.
  5. In a separate small bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and gently fold together until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the top feels springy to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the bread to sit in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool completely.
