Orange date cake doesn't call a lot of attention to itself. It isn't glamorous or showy. But in its understated way it is satisfying.

Don’t throw away your orange rinds. Of course you can’t eat them as they are, but when grated into small shreds they lend a citrus-y accent to ordinary date cake that makes it more than the sum of its parts. You can serve orange date cake as part of your wedding refreshments or as coffee cake at Sunday brunch.

In fact if any cake is left over from the wedding reception you could have that at brunch, except there won’t be any left over.

Orange Date Cake

6 cups sifted whole wheat flour (or 3 cups whole wheat and 3 cups unbleached flour)
