Bulla cake
Template:Short description Template:Infobox prepared food
Bulla cake, usually referred to as bulla, is a rich Jamaican cake made with molasses, brown sugar [1] and spiced with ginger[2] and nutmeg. It is eaten as a snack.
Overview
Jamaican bulla cakes are small loaves that are flat, round, and sometimes dark-colored or light-colored.[2] They are inexpensive and easy to make using molasses, brown sugar, vanilla, flour and baking soda.[2] In Jamaica, bulla comes in different flavours such as spice (with cinnamon and nutmeg), Jamaican ginger, coconut and pineapple. Also, smaller bulla cakes (mini bulla) are sold on the island.
Traditionally, bulla is a popular treat for schoolchildren, often paired with milk or cherry malt.[2] It is commonly consumed as a snack that is often paired with cheese or avocado.
As a traditional food of Jamaica, the bulla cake has been considered an emblem related to development on the island nation.[3] Former solicitor general of Jamaica and Air Jamaica president, Kenneth Rattray, was a fan of bulla.[4]
