Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Yes, fresh peaches can be used instead of canned. Just peel and slice them, and you may need to adjust the amount of juice added to keep the cake moist. Fresh peaches will offer a fresher flavor and texture.
What can I substitute for oleo (butter)?
If you're looking for a substitute for oleo, you can use margarine or coconut oil. For a dairy-free option, vegan butter works well too, ensuring the recipe remains suitable for various dietary preferences.
How do I know when the cake is done baking?
The cake is done baking when it is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Keep an eye on it during the last few minutes of baking to avoid overcooking.
