Urgent! No veg oil for cake can I substitute with butter? Quick response needed!

[spikemomma]

Making a birthday cake and need 125ml of veg oil. Don't have any, can I substitute with same amount of butter? All dry ingredients in bowl ready to mix...ahhh! Help anyone?

If you melt it, that should work

I think it should be ok (fingers crossed). If you haven't got any you haven't got any so you might as well try!

Cakes were made with butter long before they were made with vegetable oil. That said the method of making it is probably different.

Thankyou so much folly. Big. And star. for responding! I'll melt it first and then wack it in...

Will work fine, as others have said. Good luck :)

Thanks filly x

Make sure it's not too hot when you add it. It might 'cook' the eggs, so you'd end up with scrambled egg bits in your cake.

Tbh I don't think it's necessary to melt the butter - just soften it.

Ladies- thank you! It worked. X
