  Formation of a canted spiral magnetic order is studied in the framework of a
mean-field approximation of the Hubbard model. It is revealed that this
magnetic state can be stabilized under certain conditions in layered systems
with a relatively small interplane electron hopping. Example of an
experimentally observed magnetic structure of La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$ is
considered. It is shown that the canting magnetic order can be described in
terms of a simple non-relativistic band magnetism.
