If you want them to be any good, go to the store.

If you don't care about the taste or texture, you can sub applesauce, or try melted butter. but neither will be the same as the recipe is intended.

I always use butter in my cakes should I be using vegetable oil (Crisco) instead?

I have been substituting apple sauce for oil for years now. The cakes turn out moist and you can't taste the apple. The only downside is that the cakes may be a tiny bit sweeter so I try to use unsweetened apple sauce. If you try this, I would start with just one of the cakes and see for yourself.

Just use butter instead. It'll turn out fine. Don't worry.

If you have olive oil, at least you would be substituting one oil for another....

Here's a thread on that:

If the cakes you're making are from scratch, I think that using melted butter wouldn't have the desired results; cake mixes are much more forgiving of additions and substitutions.

I googled this and every site said sub with olive oil or another liquid oil. Butter has too much milk fat and will change your recipe.

Thank you for all of the advice. I went ahead and used olive oil. I made a lemon cake so it just added to the fruityness and made it a little more yellow! icon_biggrin.gif I won't tell if you won't!!! icon_biggrin.gificon_razz.gificon_lol.gif
