Barbie -- I suggest that you melt 1/2 cup + 1 table spoon butter the extra Table!. spoon will give you a full 1/2 cup after the butter is melted there will be a small amount of milk or water in the bottom of the bowl let cool to room Temperature then pour the cooled melted butter very slow into your cake mix per directions [discard the small amount of liquid left in bottom of bowl ] and you are good to go!. Triple fudge sounds very good!. jim bWww@FoodAQ@Com

Absolutely, vegetable oil can replace almost any other oil specified in a recipe!.

Olive oil, while good for you and giving a great taste in small doses, can taste overwhelming and bitter if used in making mayonnaise or pesto - I always use a combination of both!.

Go ahead, nothing will go wrong if you make the substitution!.

Yes, you can substitute!. I use olive oil for baking all of the time!. It may not taste the same, though, as it would with vegetable oil, especially if you are using extra virgin olive oil!. Regular olive oil is probably better, if you have that!. Canola oil works well with baking!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It would help to know what it is you are trying to make!. If you use extra virgin olive oil it will affect the flavor of what you are cooking as opposed to vegetable oil!. If you are frying then the Vegetable oil has a higher smoking point an you would not want to substitute!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If it is for any kind of baked good, you can substitute the oil with melted butter!. Olive oil is good, but not for every type of cooking, such as baking!.

Edit: oh yes, for that you definitely need to use melted butter! One stick of melted butter is equal to 1/2 cup of oil!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You already have some good answers but the one issue they don't address is if you plan on deep-fat-frying in the oil!. If so, olive oil is not good for that because it doesn't have a high burn point!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It depends on what you are cooking!. If it is a desert then I wouldn't recommend it!. But if it is vegetable or a casserole then it would probably be okay!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I often substitute oils when cooking and have substituted olive oil for regular oil and vice a versa!. The only thing I found is that olive oil smokes when frying more than vegitable oil does!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes, you can and it will enhance the flavor to what your cooking !.!.!. I have done it myself and there is no noticeable differenceWww@FoodAQ@Com

Yes if you like the tastes of Olives if not then use Canola Oil!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes no hesitation none what so ever, You don't have to worry at all!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
