Best Scottish Bridal Cake

Bride's Bonn. This is a recipe from the Shetland Islands and is also known as Bride's Bun and Bridal Cake. The cake was traditionally made on the wedding day by the bride's mother who then held it over her daughter's head and broke it as the bride entered her new home as a married woman. The bride and bridegroom had to eat all the pieces of the cake to ensure a happy marriage.

One teaspoon of baking powder.
2 ounces (50 g) of butter.
