Nutty Apple Spice Cake image

A friend made this delicious cake and I had to have the recipe. I have not made it yet, but plan to in the very near future! It's from Cooking Light 1999...though I'm not sure what is "light" about it. Beware...it's rich and decadent. I guessed on the time to prepare...so if you find it to be very different please let me know and I will update!
