Peel the sweet potato, chop in half, drop in the food processor and pulverise it.

Add the walnuts and mix again until the walnut pieces are very small.

Add the eggs and olive oil, mix again.

Add the spice and honey, mix.

Now add the buckwheat flour and bicarbonate of soda and mix very well. use a spatula to push any unmixed down into the main dough and mix more.

Lastly add the currants but only mix very lightly for 2 or 3 seconds to avoid them getting too broken.
