Thrifty cook's orange __ cake (4)

I believe the answer is:

rind

(Other definitions for rind that I've seen before include "Outer layer (of cheese)" , "Hard outer skin, of an orange say" , "Outer edge of a bacon rasher" , "Tough outer layer" , "Fruit covering" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
