Do not wait much longer than this. using oven mitts, place a cake plate over the pan, and then flip the cake over. Remove the cake pan gently. Be cautious, as it will still be very hot. Rearrange any fruit that came loose. Now let the cake cool.
This cake is delicious when eaten warm, or at room temperature. Enjoy.
