Cocada amarela explained
Cocada Amarela is a traditional Angolan dessert made from eggs and coconut.[1] It has a distinctive yellow colour due to the large quantity of eggs used.[2] [3] The name, Cocada Amarela, literally means yellow Cocada.[4]
Due to Angola's colonial history, Cocada Amarela is highly influenced by Portuguese pastries, which are known for their large quantities of egg yellow in traditional recipes.
