How much butter to replace vegetable oil?

Ready to make a cake mix cake and I don't have any vegetable oil (or any oil). It calls for 1/3 cup of oil, how much butter to I use to replace that?How much butter to replace vegetable oil?
Equal, 1/3 cup of oil = 1/3 cup of butter. 1 stick of butter is 1/2 cup, but the paper around the butter cube should indicate how much 1/3 cup is. Happy eating!How much butter to replace vegetable oil?
I would not substitute butter for vegetable oil equally because oil is 100% fat and butter is about 80% fat and 20% water. I would add a little extra butter. BUT......if you wish to do it equally, 1/3 cup is 2.66 ounces. A tablespoon equals a half ounce. So you will need a doink over 5 tablespoons of butter.





Chef Mark
it would work out to be about 2 table spoons
use a half a stick
Equal amount which is 3 and 1/3 TBS. butter.


Make sure you melt it and it is room temp when adding. Enjoy!
you need to make clarified butter in the process you will lose approximatley 25% of the butter you started with


So you need 1/3 c of veg oil or 5.33 or @ 2 TBS per oz you will need 10 TBS +1 tsp


to make clarified melt 2 sticks of butter


allow to boil slowly when the boiling stops and the milk solids sink to the bottom you're done
