Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of peach pie filling?
Yes, you can use fresh peaches! Simply peel and slice about 3-4 medium peaches, and mix them with a bit of sugar and cornstarch to create a similar consistency to pie filling. This will add a fresh flavor to your cake.
What can I substitute for the yellow cake mix?
If you prefer not to use a store-bought cake mix, you can make your own by combining flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Use 1 and 3/4 cups of flour, 1 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt to create a homemade version.
Can I make this cake ahead of time?
Absolutely! This cake can be made a day in advance. Just store it covered at room temperature. To maintain freshness, consider placing it in the refrigerator if keeping for more than a day, and allow it to come to room temperature before serving.
