Bulla cake, usually referred to as bulla, is a rich Jamaican cake made with molasses[1] and spiced with ginger[2] and nutmeg, sometimes dark-colored and other times light-colored. Bulla are small loaves that are flat and round.[2] They are inexpensive and easy to make using molasses, flour and baking soda.[2] Bulla is traditionally a popular treat for schoolchildren.[2]
A traditional food of Jamaica, the bulla cake has been used as an emblem and symbol related to development on the island nation.[3] Former solicitor general of Jamaica Kenneth Rattray was a fan of bulla.[4]
