Hello CCR'S... last night I was making a 7 Up pound cake for an annual bazaar to sell on Saturday...I didn't have enough sticks of butter (and I was too lazy to go and get more) so I used (gulp)...some butter spread(with veg. oil!!!!!!) 
I know, I know..BIG MISTAKE!!! well, I figured something wasn't right because 1. - the batter wasn't the right consistency(and chose to bake it anyway)...2- the cake didn't rise much in the pan...3- when I turned the pan over to release the cake onto the cooling rack...THE RACK SHOOK ON THE COUNTER!!! LOL But, nontheless, I tried a slice (a plastic knife could barely cut through it...tasted ok, but not too much flavor and very hard to chew ) 
So today after work, I went and got my butter and will try again after I finish this post 
BTW...the reject cake - I put it in a bag to throw out but tossed the bag on the floor by the garbage can and there was a resounding THUD and the floor vibrated!!! Good Grief!!! 
Just wanted to share something funny with you guys...ever have days like this? 
I'm guilty of doing stuff like this, too. Once while making Christmas cookies, I realized I didn't have cocoa powder to make double chocolate cookies, so I used hot chocolate mix. A word of advice: don't substitute hot chocolate mix for unsweetened cocoa powder : )
ok, it's now the next morning and I made my 2nd cake...this one had a lot of weight to it as well ... not sure what was wrong(not like I haven't made this before, with great results!!...guess it wasn't meant to be made for today 
This reminds me of the time I was making pumpkin bread for a gift basket. I had run out of veg. oil--how do you do that and since I live out in the middle of nowhere, I decided to substitute olive oil for the regular veg. oil. Awful--DUH! What was I thinking?
