Bolo Polana

Bolo Polana is a traditional cashew and potato cake originating from Mozambique. It's made with a combination of mashed potatoes, ground cashews, eggs, orange zest, lemon zest, vanilla essence, sugar, and butter. The egg whites are folded into the batter, and the cake is then baked until golden brown. If properly prepared, bolo Polana should have a rich and nutty flavor. This cake is often made for special occasions and it's named after Polana, the suburb of Maputo (Mozambique's capital city). If desired, the cake can be garnished with a few roasted cashew nuts.
