Maldivian sweetened condensed milk cake makes for a lovely dessert and was how we ended our Maldivian feast. The Islands have to import food items as not too much grows there. This cake made with canned sweetened condensed milk is called gerikiru boakibaa. It is a very simple quick and easy recipe that comes out surprisingly moist and delicious. Dust the top with some powdered sugar for a little added sweetness, it would also be lovely with any type of fruit as a topping.
