UPSIDE-DOWN FRUITCAKE
I get tired of people bad-mouthing holiday fruitcakes. It's one of my favorite holiday flavors and I look forward to it every year. This year, I decided to combine it with everyone's favorite, upside-down cake. Try to say no to this fruitcake; I dare you! -James Schend, Taste of Home Deputy Editor
