Bring the Autumn Season right into your kitchen with this cake! Who couldn't love nutmeg and cinnamon and apples and walnuts all folded into a wonderful moist cake.
This cake recipe comes from my Mom's friend Mary. It was a family favorite while I was growing up. and it is still a favorite in my own house, today. Made in a sheet pan, it can serve a crowd. Just add a spoon of whip cream, and you will have a wonderful dessert to serve your guests.
I personally love this with a cup of coffee, mid-morning, it just hits the spot!
As Always,
ENJOY!
