3/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 lb tart apple, peeled,cored,cut into 1 inch chunks (3 large Granny Smiths work well)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or 1/2 cup pecans
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Glaze
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup heavy cream

Preparation

Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Butter a 9\" spring form pan.
Place all cake ingredients into bowl of mixer.
Beat on lowest speed until apples are in 1/4\" chunks and their juice has thinned the batter slightly.
This takes about 3 minutes.
Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake in the middle of the oven until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean- about 50 minutes.
Let the cake cool slightly.
Unmold and poke the top of the cake all over with a meat fork.
Pour glaze over the warm cake, letting the excess run down the sides.
Cake can be decorated with more chopped walnuts or pecans.
To Prepare Glaze: Put all ingredients into small saucepan and bring to a simmer, stirring, over low heat.
Simmer until the sugar dissolves, about 1 minute.
Let cool until slightly thickened- about 7- 10 minutes.
