Can I substitute whole wheat flour for all purpose in a cake recipe? I'm short about a cup of all purpose flour and don't want to go out for that one ingredient.

I make an orange cake with ground nuts instead of flour, so that will work, but change the texture a lot.
By any chance, do you have nuts you could grind up to use instead? Ground almonds, walnuts, or pecans held aloft by whipped egg whites can make for a great cake.
Alternatively, perhaps you could reduce the recipe to make cupcakes or make one loaf and fancy it up with fruit or whipped cream toppings.
