CHRISTMAS UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE

I made this cake on Christmas Eve for everyone (about ten people) to have as part of Christmas morning breakfast. You do have to like the taste of fruitcake fruit to enjoy this, but of course you can always try your own fruits. As another reviewer said, it was sweet but nobody minded! We all loved it! But since it is so sweet, you won't want more than just a moderate to small piece at a time. We had an entire cake leftover to munch on throughout the next couple days. No complaints here!
