I think it would work in a pinch. A cup of oil would be about the same as 2 sticks of butter. I dont think it would compromise the taste much. I am not positive on this tho, I suppose it would depend on the recipe. If it is a cake mix I don't think it could hurt anything.
KayDay is right on the conversion of 2 sticks of butter to 1 cup of oil, and it seems as though it would work for your cake, especially since this is just a portion of the butter called for in your recipe.
Tough decision, I guess, to do or not to do. Janice
The cake came out perfect!!!!!!!!! I think it looks even better. I also used my home-made pan grease and I smoothed the top with I clean towel so I don't have to level it,this new technique learned here in the site, and they are a hit, THANK YOU ALL!
