How to make Bulla Cake

  • Jamaican Bulla cakes are the easiest cake ever 😄 It is hard to ruin it because of its simplicity. There's a wide variety of textures and shapes out there but for the most part they're usually circular and more on the dense side than a light airy birthday cake. They're often eaten as a snack but were once also served as lunch to school children in Jamaica because they can be very filling.
    ✅Recipe notes/tips:
    1. Yield is about six bullas that are 6" or 7" inches. If you make them smaller you may have to bake for less time.
    2. Remember to preheat the oven for at least 15 minutes.
    3. The softer your dough the softer your bulla. The more flour added while kneading or rolling the more dense the bulla will be.
    4. Bullas are best enjoyed with Jamaican processed cheese, Avocado, Margerine, Butter or with a warm beverage.

    Ingredients:
    4 cups Allpurpose Flour(3 1/2 for the dough and reserve about 1/4 - 1/2 cup to dust counter for rolling and kneading
    1 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
    1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
    1 tsp Grated Nutmeg
    2 tsps Ground Cinnamon
    1/4 tsp Ground Allspice
    1 1/2 tsp Ginger powder (increase if you desire)
    about 1 1/4 tsp Salt
    About 1/2 cup room temperature or Lukewarm water if necessary for dissolving sugar (remember to cool it down before adding to dry ingredients)
    1 1/2 cup soft Brown sugar (if you have very coarse sugar, you may dissolve it with the mollasses on the stove then cool it down before use)
    2 1/2 tablespoons Fancy Mollasses(You may use regular Mollasses)
    1 packed tablespoon or more fresh ginger (If you love ginger you can always add more)
    3 tbsps Melted Butter
    1/4 cup Whole milk
    1/4 tsp Almond essence (This was added to the milk😄)
    2 1/2 tbsp vanilla
    Melted butter to brush on after baking (optional)

    • @JerenesEats
      @JerenesEats  2 года назад

      Each time I use this recipe the texture comes out like the bullas I'm used back home. However, bear in mind that some bullas are super soft, some are even moist but a bulla should not be tender like a regular cake. If it's too soft I don't consider it a bulla any more 😁

    • @JerenesEats
      @JerenesEats  2 года назад

      Perhaps too much flour on the board while kneading. It's hard to tell

    Hi! I made your recipe and the bullas came out perfectly (thank you!)
    Just a question I had about 1/2 of the liquid mixture left once I got my dough to the consistency I wanted. I ended up pouring it down the sink but surely I did something wrong? The flavor of the bulla was spot on so it wasn’t lacking liquid....it made 6 bullas in total. I just don’t know why I had so much liquid left? Should I increase my flour next go around? Any help would be brilliant....I want to make again but would hate to waste the ingredients 😢 thank you lovely detailed explanation x

    • @JerenesEats
      @JerenesEats  3 года назад +1

      Usually the dough is on the moist side to allow for kneading with quite a bit of flour. Next time I make it, I'll see if I have alot of liquid left. Will update you guys.
