Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using a vanilla bean instead of vanilla extract. You can substitute chopped almonds or walnuts for the nuts in the recipe, or even omit them if you prefer a smoother texture. If fresh peaches are in season, try incorporating them along with the pie filling for added freshness. This cake can also be made with other fruit pie fillings for a different taste.
