Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 2 (9 inch) round pans.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and milk; set aside. Beat together butter, eggs, cardamom, cinnamon, and vanilla. Beat together the flour mixture, reserved milk and milk pie filling until combined. Stir in the reserved flour mixture. Fold in the rye flour, baking soda and salt.
