Recipes for cake with no butter/margerine pls - oil in its place?

An even better solution is to take your favorite recipe that calls for butter or margarine and substitute applesauce. You'll never know it's there except that it's incredibly moist and better for you!





This low-fat and vegan cake recipe uses applesauce instead of eggs or oil, making it nearly fat-free and guilt-free! Though its a little bit heavier than other cakes, the generous amount of cocoa makes this vegan cake absolutely heavenly.

1 tbsp cornstarch


2 tsp baking soda


1/4 tsp salt


1/3 cup cocoa


1 1/2 cups applesauce


Preparation:

Mix all of the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.





Add applesauce and mix well until batter is smooth.





Bake for 50-55 minutes, until done. You can always tell that a cake is finished baking by sticking a toothpick in the center of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, that is, not covered in batter, then your cakes is done baking.

Easy, muffins are made with oil, so you don't even need to change the recipe. Just make sure you add some raising agent, such as baking powder to help it rise. Normally you whip the butter and sugar to get air in, but you can't do this with oil.


Or you could make a 'swiss roll mix' which you whip the eggs and sugar together to give the cake some air.


Both work well, but muffins are the easier option.
You can sub oil for any recipe just decrease the amount of oil by 1/4. For example a recipe calls for 1 cup butter, use 3/4 cup oil. This is because oil is 100% fat but butter contains some water.





I also use pumpkin puree in place of butter. In this case I sub the same amount of pumpkin for butter.





Good luck!
