Apple and Walnut Cake with wheat flour

This apple-walnut cake is absolutely yummy.  This cake literally melts in the mouth.  At least  that's what my guests said when I served this cake as a dessert.  The best part is it has wheat flour in it besides the usual all purpose flour.  So lets try baking this delicious cake:

 Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups white flour, 1 cup wheat flour, 1 cup sugar, 3/4 cup packed brown sugar,  2 tsp cinnamon powder,  2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, a pinch of salt, 3/4 cup cooking oil, 1 tsp vanilla essence, 3 eggs, 2 cups peeled and finely chopped apples(about 2 medium apples), 1 cup chopped walnuts.

Method:
In a large mixing bowl combine wheat and white flours, sugars(both kind), cinnamon powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In a different bowl add oil, vanilla essence and the eggs and beat  well.
Now add all the dry ingredients from the first bowl and mix till everything is well blended.
Stir in chopped apples and walnuts.
Spoon batter evenly into well greased pan.
Bake in 350 degree F or 180 degree C for 45 minutes.
Cool in the pan itself for 15 minutes then take it out and place it on a wire rack.
When cool, you may drizzle the cake with powdered sugar glaze.

For Glaze:
In a bowl stir together 2 tsp of powder sugar and a 1 tsp of water to make it a drizzling consistency. 
Now drizzle over a cooled cake.
Enjoy with a scoop of ice cream or a cup of coffee.
