Get thee to  a neurologist, post haste! That sort of thing can be/is
debititating. And you guys, unlike the US have universal health care.
Or so I am told.

Then you'd trade the pan in the lower regions for an upset stomach and a
thumping head. Not a choice I'd care to be saddled with.

      Title: Bernie's Pain Rapide Au Chocolat
 Categories: Breads, Chocolate, Citrus, Booze
      Yield: 1 Servings
 
      4 oz Unsweetened chocolate
           +=OR=+
     12 tb Unsweetened cocoa powder
    1/2 c  Butter
      4 lg Eggs
    2/3 c  Honey
      2 c  Mashed potatoes
    1/2 c  Brandy or rum
      2 ts Vanilla extract
      2 ts Orange zest
  2 1/4 c  All-purpose flour
      4 ts Baking powder
      1 ts Salt
 
  Melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave and mix
  together.
  
  In another bowl, beat the eggs until they start to get
  frothy. Add honey, mashed potatoes, the alcohol and/or
  juice, vanilla extra, and orange zest. Stir in the
  chocolate-butter mixture.
  
  In a separate bowl mix together flour, baking powder,
  and salt. Stir 2 cups of it into the wet mixture. The
  mixture should be a heavy batter. If it is still fairly
  thin, add the rest of the flour mixture to it and stir
  until everything is moistened.
  
  Pour the batter into greased baking pans (I baked it in
  three small 7" x 3" loaf pans).
  
  Bake at 350ºF/175ºC on the middle shelf of the oven
  until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out
  clean. In my small loaf pans it took about 40 minutes.
  In a full-sized pan it will take closer to 1 hour.
  
  That's it. It is very good, not too sweet, quite moist
  and rich (but not too rich). Very much the type of thing
  to munch with a strong cup of coffee. It tastes much
  more adult than a kid's chocolate cupcake, particularly
  if you use good chocolate.
  
  That won't keep your kids from trying to eat it though.
