By far the best fruitcake I ever made. I saw this on TV and only used 3 cups flour, so I didn't have anything to go wrong.

This recipe is so wrong compared to the way Dave prepared this on the show. The 4 cups of flour should be 3 as stated by other reviewers but also change the following: use 1/2 cup white sugar and 1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar instead of 2 cups light brown sugar; grate 1 tablespoon fresh Ginger over the raisins, orange zest, and brandy; use 2 teaspoons allspice- not 1 teaspoon; Dave used margarine, not butter. Lastly Dave said to bake at 275 degrees for 2- 2 1/2 hours not 3 hours at 250. I made this recipe per the episode directions not the website. Hope this helps others, and I wish food network would correct this recipe.

Fruitcake without the commercially processed taste and appearance. Great unique gift for the holidays.

I had the same experience with my four cups of flour. I think the flavor was good without considering the denseness so I will give this another try in the future.

I made this recipe yesterday and realized something was very wrong, instead of a smooth batter I had a lumpy mess. Luckily I had recorded this epsiode and when I watched it again I realized the ingredients Dave used aren't the ones in this recipe. What a disappointment!!

I rated this recipe a One because there is an error in the recipe. Use 3 cups of flour instead of four. I can't wait to make this recipe again because even with the error it was surprisingly delicious. Too dense, but if I didn't tell someone why they would never think anything of it. The recipe is the PERFECT blend of flavors but just too much flour! On TV he only used three cups but I didn't pay attention and used the four cups in the on line recipe. Definitely try it, it's delicious even if you make it wrong.

Please ignore my rating because I have not made this recipe, but I wanted to warn those of you who plan to try it. Dave used 3 (three cups of flour on the program, and if you use four you will have a very thick batter as another poster mentioned.

I hope that people read reviews BEFORE trying this recipe. It is always a good idea. The proof is here. I just watched the episode and indeed Dave says 3 cups of flour NOT 4. I hope the "powers that be" who run this site change it soon on the recipe, before anymore ingredients get wasted. I haven't made it, thats why I rated it 3 I just wanted to let people know about the misprint.

THis was excellent. I didn't know what to expect (never made fruitcake before and was amazed at how good it was. I used the 4 cups of flour as stated and it was a very thick batter but the cake was good. I brought this to work and everybody loved it. (They were skeptical too. I have liked almost all Dave's recipes; that's why I took a chance on this one.
