Ugh - want to bake this cake now and I have no vegetable oil. Can I substitute equal amounts of applesauce for oil? This is a box cake mix.

Yes BUT......... I have bakes cakes for 30+ yrs WITHOUT any oil OR applesauce

Wow, no oil or applesauce?! Never did that before. I will have to try it. Thanks.!

Please share how????

Sorry I have just come back to this post to see all the ?s/remarks I used Betty Crocker mixes for my more than 30 yrs of baking but I retired just before the change in size/formula of the mixes I used only 2 whole eggs & water (& very occasionally juice)....a glass 1 cup Pyrex measure cup filled to the very brim - I think about 1 1/4 or 1 1/3 cups?
