Bulla Cake

Step by stepInstructions

1. Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a small pot, melt the butter with the molasses, water and vanilla over low heat, stirring until smooth; cool slightly.
3. Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt together in a bowl.
4. Pour the molasses mixture into the dry ingredients and mix into a stiff, slightly sticky dough.
5. Divide into 6 to 8 balls and flatten each into a round about ½ inch (1 cm) thick; place on the lined sheet.
6. Score a cross or lines on top of each bulla and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until firm to the touch.
7. Cool on a rack; serve with ripe avocado, the classic pairing, or with sharp cheese.
