I Ran out of oil and need to make a cake my boyfriend tells me i can use mayo is this true and how much?!
Answers:
yes you can use mayo!. I bake all the time and have done this in a pinch!.
just put in the same amount of mayo that the recipe asks you to use for the oil!. just make sure it's not flavored mayo (olive oil type,etc)!.
applesauce can be used too!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

The mayo might work, but it could also make the cake taste different!. If you have some unsalted butter you could melt it and use it in place of the oil!. You could also try melting some Crisco if you have some of that!.
Good luck!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Good luck!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
mayo is salty and it is made up of eggs!. use fresh cream instead!. the texture of the cake would be fabulous!. i would not recommend mayo!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Why are you using oil!? Is it an instant cake!? Anyway, you can use butter or margarine as a substitute!. I would not use Mayonnaise!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It is true and you use the same amount as you would oil!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
no, that's definitely not true!.
Mayo is made from eggs so it wouldn't be a good substitute for oil!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
