Gerikiru Boakibaa

The first time I heard of this new form of boakibaa or cake was while visiting Nadhu's blog. Nadhu is a local entrepreneur and blogger ( she is doing some video recipes on her blog this Ramadhan. ) Anyway I didn't give it much thought about this particular boakibaa.
It was until my sister-in-law, brought it up again saying my brother-in-law's wife, Shiu,  makes a very delicious  gerikiru boakibaa. So when I visited her place, I asked her what all the fuss was about. So she gave me her recipe.

 Now the thing is  I never tasted one,  so even after making it I was like, is this how it's supposed to look like?  and taste like this?. It did taste pretty good.  So to test it out I made it for a cousin of my hubby's  , who is more familiar with this particular cake. Her verdict,  it wasn't supposed to be like that. But I loved the taste and it was an easy cake to make,  so I decided to post it. Besides  I did follow the recipe and mine looked pretty much like  Shiu's ( yes I know you are reading this ;P), who later vibered me a photo of her version of this cake(LOL), so I know I was in the track.
