Here a good receipt perfect for the family. not very difficult to realize! it is sheer a quite sweet delight!

Preparation

1) for cake:
In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar and soda. Add remaining ingredients and mix batter well. (Do not use electric mixer).
The batter may bubble a bit because of the juice reacting with the soda.
Pour batter into prepared pan and place in oven. A 9x13 pan will take about35-40 minutes to bake . A 11x15 inch pan will take about25 minutes.
The cake gets really brown while baking so don't be alarmed. My picture didn't turn out for that. Remove from oven. Frost cake while warm
2) Cream Cheese Frosting:
In a deep bowl, with electric mixer, beat all ingredients until smooth and creamy.
Frost cake while warm. Usually don't add the nuts to the frosting.
Sprinkle them on top of the frosting, but it's your choice. If possible, let cake cool before digging in!
