My husband is allergic to tree nuts but he loves this cake that I make that has walnuts in it. Are there any nuts I can use that would replace walnuts well that aren't tree nuts?

Peanuts are not tree nuts (They are technically not even nuts), but I'm not sure if that would make a good substitute for Walnuts.
Here is a pretty complete list of tree nuts http://www.kidswithfoodallergies.org/resourcespre.php?id=60

What kind of cake is it? If it's crunch you're after you might consider seeds, like sunflower seeds. I agree with @pui, you may not want to substitute peanuts because there's always the chance that someone with a tree nut allergy will have or develop a peanut/legume allergy and you never want this time to be that time.
