Is it ok to use canola oil while baking a chocolate cake instead of vegetable oil? Or will it taste gross???!
Answers: Also, does anyone know if it's true that you can use apple sauce instead of eggs to keep all the ingredients together (not in a cake, just in general)???
Canola oil is an excellent choice for baking as it has an extremely mild flavor and won't get in the way of the "good" flavors, like vanilla.
Eggs are usually used in cooking as a moistener and a binder. Sometimes there is no substitute in a recipe.
Apple sauce or a apple-based substitute in the baking aisle, can be used in lieu of oil or shortening in some recipes, at least for some of the shortening, in such things as dessert breads and cakes.
Here's a site that will give you some substitutes you can use for eggs and fats:

Canola oil is a kind of vegetable oil, relatively tasteless and mostly used to fry stuff in French cookery. It should be all right.
You absolutely cannot use apple sauce instead of eggs to keep anything together. Apple sauce does not behave the same way as eggs do, under any circumstances. You must use eggs.
I use canola instead of vegtable oil all the time, and it always turns out just fine! I have also done the apple sauce thing-the recipe for it is on the back of a duncan hines white cake mix!
I think all oils taste the same.
yes
yes or you can use bananas
its ok
Yes, canola oil is a vegetable oil. Applesauce instead of eggs, I don't think so.
You can use it, and it will not make your baked goods taste funny. The applesauce only works for baked goods .
I don't use anything but canola oil when baking and it works great in cakes.
