National – Ginger Bulla

Jamaican bulla is a popular and traditional Jamaican snack that is similar to a sweet and spicy cake or bread. It is made from flour, baking powder, molasses, sugar, and spices such as ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon. The mixture is typically rolled into small balls and flattened into a disc shape, then baked until golden brown. Jamaican bulla has a unique texture that is dense, chewy, and slightly crumbly, with a sweet and spicy flavor that is both satisfying and flavorful. It is often enjoyed as a midday snack with a cup of tea, or as a dessert after a meal. In Jamaica, bulla is also known as “black cake” or “spice cake,” and it has a long history as a staple food in the country. It is a favorite among locals and tourists alike, and can be found in many bakeries, markets, and street vendors throughout the island.
