Beat the eggs with sugar until creamy using a mixer in a large bowl. It should be double or even more its size:) Add the rest of the 1.group ingredients, mix. Add the 2.group ingredients, mix. Add the apples and walnuts in it, mix. Then pour the batter into the mold.

Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C). Place the mold on the middle rack. Bake it until toothpick comes out clean. It takes app. 45 minutes. But do not forget! baking time may change from one oven to another:) Wait for 30 minutes, then place the cake on the wire rack to cool it down.
