Stir in raisins and nuts.
Pour batter into a greased 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan, spreading evenly.
Bake in a 350℉ (180℃) F oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Cool in pan on wire rack.
Cream Cheese Frosting: Beat together cream cheese, butter or margarine and vanilla until light and fluffy.
