I'm baking a cake and have no vegetable oil. Instead can I use...?!
Answers: Can I use extra virgin olive oil instead?
Yes, you absolutely can! I use olive oil repeatedly in recipes that call for vegetable oil. And because you have extra virgin olive oil, it is even better! Olive oil is healthier for you than vegetable oil...you may to consider using this for the majority or your recipes.
Extra-virgin means that the acidity is less than one per cent, giving it an easy flavor, nothing too strong or acidic.
HTH! Good luck with your cake!
No...Olive flavor too strong. Got Apple Sauce? That works ok, but a bit denser. Got any Butter??? Melt butter and use that.
NO, the best substitution is 1 cup applesauce OR 1 cup fruit puree
I've used butter in place of oil..doesn't help with the fat content though! :)
You can use motor oil if you want; the question is more specifically SHOULD you!? Olive oil might be ok, as it is technically a vegetable oil, but some are more flavorful than others. Try calling the 800 number on the cake box...they LIVE for this stuff!
YES YOU CAN these people are crazy and obviously dont bake every day!
Definetly use applesauce..it makes it more fluffy and moist..and does not change the flavor!!
I use coconut oil, its great stuff, you can also use it on you hair and skin too. I love it! :)
No. Olive oil will taint the flavor of your cake. Use butter instead. It'll add a buttery flavor....and a few more fat grams...but it's better than a funny tasting cake...huh?
