Can i substitute vegetable oil with butter in a cake recipe??

I am making a a make.. and i am out of vegetable oil. Could use butter?Can i substitute vegetable oil with butter in a cake recipe??
All of these are great substitutes for butter or shortening. You can't taste it in the cake either, plus it cuts out a lot of unnecessary fats.





applesauce


pureed prunes


apple butter


fruit-based fat substitutes


ricotta cheese


bananas (mashed)





oil (Avoid substituting oils for solid fats when baking cookies, cakes, and pastries; it will make the dish greasy and dense. If you must do so, substitute 3 parts oil for every 4 parts solid fat and consider increasing the amount of sugar and eggs in the recipe. Pie crusts made with oil aren't as flaky as those made with solid fat.)Can i substitute vegetable oil with butter in a cake recipe??
Q Can I substitute butter in place of oil in the cakes mixes that specify oil?


A Butter or margarine can be melted down and in its liquid form measured to the amount of oil necessary to the recipe. It should be cooled down however, before adding to the other ingredients.
actually no i wouldnt.. but i never use as much oil as the recipe calls for its too much.. EX if it says 1/2 cup or something ill put 2 or 3 TBL Spoons of oil and then orange juice or pineapple juice and yes im serious.. its healthier and NO you cant tell the difference lol .. try it once you'll see.. good luck and hope this helps.. and you can use applesauce too
Yes, you can. You can even use half applesauce and half oil for a substitute for the butter. Less fat and still tastes very good and moist.
Use a little more than a 1/2 cup to make up for water in the butter
I would think you could
i always do that
