Nuts make you smart, so my version of

Make a dough from the flour and margarine, chill for 30 minutes. Pour into a greased 26 cm springform pan and prick all over with a fork. Bake in the center at 180C for 15 minutes. Make a pudding from the pudding powder, milk and sugar. Set half aside for snacking or as a small dessert. Melt the margarine and salt and let it cool slightly. Gradually stir the still-liquid margarine into the slightly cooled pudding with a whisk. Melt the nuts, the remaining 125 g of margarine and sugar in a saucepan and mix. Keep the nuts slightly warm, otherwise they will become too hard. Spread the buttercream on the cooled dough. Sprinkle the nuts over the top. Melt the chocolate coating in a double boiler and draw stripes over the cake. Let the cake cool and remove from the pan.
