@Nightowlz Yes, I did ask about their Safe List. They didn’t know, but said it was preferable for me to not use the flavor, “in case.”
I made a second cake to allay any fears, so it all worked out in the end.

Some nut allergies are very severe and the allergic person must refrain from eating any food prepared in a plant that also processes other foods with nuts. This means that any of the ingredients might cause a reaction if they are manufactured where products with nuts come into contact with machinery. Check all of your ingredients’ packages. These products usually specify this. You might ask your friend if she is in this highly allergic category.

It surprises me, but my guest can eat peanuts with no problem. It's only tree nuts to which she's allergic. Maybe I should have used peanut butter in my cake.
Peanuts are legumes, not nuts. This link has great info on allergies: https://www.aaaai.org/conditions-and-treatments/library/allergy-library/tree-nut-allergy
I am sure that both cakes were delicious!
