Roquefort Walnut Banana Cake

Pair Roquefort with banana in a cake? Yes, the combination works surprisingly well and tastes so good. The blue cheese adds just right amount of depth and robust flavor to the banana bread which is moist, soft and so delicious. Once cooled, the cake is then topped with a simple thin glaze and walnuts for a perfect dessert your family will love.
Roquefort is a blue mold cheese made from sheep milk from France. If it's too intense for you, then use the Gorgonzola mild, Cambozola Black or Danish Blue instead.
