I know that some people use applesauce has a replacement for oil to lessen the amount of fat in a recipe. I would be afraid that butter or shortening would change the texture of the cake too much.

Yes, you can use butter. I do it all the time.

I have used butter as a substitute for oil in my cakes many times. I think it makes it richer. On the other hand, I've never made a cake that took 12 eggs. Hope this helps...

Ideally you would have creamed it with the sugar, eggs etc til fluffy, but if everything is in the bowl already, than cream the butter separately than add.
