Preheat oven to 350F. Melt the chocolate and butter together. In a mixing
bowl beat the eggs until light and thick. Beat in the honey, potatoes,
chocolate and butter, rum, vanilla and orange peel.

Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Combine with liquid
ingredients and fold together, until just mixed. Pour batter into a greased
loaf pan and bake 50 to 55 minutes or until the top feels springy. Let it
