Bolo Polana
Cashew and Potato Cake
Bolo Polana is a traditional Mozambican cake that is surprisingly moist and rich, made without flour. It gets its unique texture and flavor from mashed potatoes and ground cashews, with hints of citrus zest. Named after a suburb of Maputo, it's a popular dessert for special occasions.
