Over time, it has evolved into a beloved staple of Jamaican cuisine, enjoyed by people of all ages and walks of life.

Ingredients and Preparation

Bulla Cake is typically made from a mixture of flour, baking powder, brown sugar, and spices such as nutmeg and ginger. Some variations may also include molasses or honey for additional sweetness. The ingredients are combined to form a dough, which is then rolled out and cut into rounds before being baked until firm and dark brown.

Cultural Significance

Bulla Cake holds a significant place in Jamaican culture. It is often served at social gatherings and is a common snack in schools. It is also a traditional Easter treat, particularly when paired with fried fish.

Variations

There are several variations of Bulla Cake, including Sticky Bulla and Round Bulla. Sticky Bulla is made with more sugar and molasses, giving it a stickier texture, while Round Bulla is shaped into a round loaf rather than individual cakes.
