Blend the margarine with the sugar using an electric mixer or a wooden spoon, until soft.

Now stir in the raisins and nuts. When it has been mixed thoroughly, pour the mixture into a greased and lined baking tin.
Bake in a moderate oven (350F) for 50-60 minutes.
Frosting (optional)
Beat one tub of cream cheese and add one tablespoon of melted butter and one teaspoon of vanilla essence. Add enough icing sugar to make a spreadable consistency.
Decorate the top of the cake. Enjoy!
