How to Make Banana Cake

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups whole wheat pastry flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup wheat germ.
3. In a large bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas thoroughly. Add ¾ cup granulated sugar and mix well.
4. Stir in 1 cup soymilk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients (from step 2) to the wet ingredients (from step 3), mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Gently fold in 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (or raisins).
7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
