Apple Cinnamon cake with Nuts

I still remember my mom making cake on weekends when we were kids. She being a working mom was not much passionate about cooking. I really understand with three school going kids it is tough for her to manage everything. But still she wants to make something different for us and dad on weekends. So she makes our favorite simple egg cake for us because she knows that is our favorite of all the sweets. I have edited her recipe with Apple and nuts and every time I make any kind of cake it reminds me of my childhood with my brother and sister waiting for that mom’s cake to be ready to eat.
