A lively spice cake like this warrants a lively presentation. Just remember, there may not be anything left of the cake when the evening ends.

You can’t have a wedding without cake, can you? Of course not. But what we’re putting forward here isn’t the frilly, multi-layered mountain of frosting with bride/groom figures on top most people might think of. Our spice cake isn’t ceremonial. The sharp flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are meant to enliven the wedding refreshments you serve at the reception.

Spice Cake

6 cups whole wheat flour (or 3 cups whole wheat and 3 cups unbleached flour)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons baking powder
