Instructions for the cake

- Add the walnuts and Raison and pulse just a few times to get a rough chop.
- Press half the cake mix into the bottom of your adjustable spring-form pan.
- Then spread on about 1/3 of the frosting. Put it in the freezer until the layer of frosting is hard or at least firmer.
- Press on the rest of the cake mix.
- Place in the fridge overnight or in the freezer to get it done quicker.
- Apply the frosting evenly on the top, then take it out of the pan and use the remaining frosting.
- Garnish with a few walnut or candied oranges.
