About Bolo de Castanha de Caju
Bolo de castanha de caju is a Mozambican cashew cake. Alcina’s recipe on Simples & delicioso! centres on ground cashews, sugar and eggs, with butter used for the pan.
Cashews give this version its nutty character, while sugar sweetens the egg-rich mixture. The selected optional decoration pairs chantilly with more cashews, adding a creamy contrast to the cake.
Ground nuts form the body of the cake, with beaten egg whites contributing to its structure. Alcina presents a cooled cake with decoration over the top.
