Ingredients
  • 2 ounce Unsweetened chocolate
  • 1/3 cup Sweet butter
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/3 cup Honey
  • 1 cup Warm mashed potatoes
  • 1/4 cup Rum or orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon Grated orange peel
  • 1 1/2 cup Unbleached white flour
  • 2 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. 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. 3
    In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until they are light in color and thick in texture.
  4. 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. 5
    In a separate small bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  6. 6
    Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and gently fold together until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. 7
    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  8. 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. 9
    Allow the bread to sit in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool completely.
