Increase intensity of peach flavour in a cake

The user found that their peach cake recipe, using tinned peaches, resulted in a perfectly textured sponge but lacked significant peach flavor. They are hesitant to alter the successful cake base significantly. The user questions if using tinned peaches, even after pureeing and draining, is the cause of the weak flavor. They wonder if fresh peaches would offer a noticeable improvement. Several ideas for enhancing the peach flavor are proposed by the user. These include roasting fresh peaches before pureeing them. Another suggestion is to use more peaches and then reduce the resulting puree through cooking. Alternatively, the user contemplates adding a peach compote or jam layer in the middle of the cake. The user is seeking advice on how to achieve a more pronounced peach flavor in their cake.
