Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of peach pie filling?
Yes, you can use fresh peaches! Cut about 2-3 cups of peeled and sliced peaches, and toss them with a bit of sugar to enhance their sweetness before mixing them into the batter. This will give the cake a fresher taste.
What can I serve with this cake?
This cake is versatile and can be served with a variety of toppings. Consider serving it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of caramel sauce, or alongside a fresh fruit salad. It also pairs well with coffee or tea.
How do I know when the cake is done baking?
To check if the cake is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached, the cake is ready. If there is wet batter on the toothpick, continue baking for a few more minutes.
