I'm baking a cake. Is there a substitute for vegetable oil?

Question

Im baking a cake. Not from scratch. Just from a cake mix.

It says to add 1/3 cup of vegetable oil, but I can't find the vegetable oil in my kitchen.

Is there any substitute for using vegetable oil?

Answer 3

olive oil.

Answer 4

For a very delicious and moist cake, you can put in a can of pumpkin instead of the oil, eggs and water in a cake mix.  You can't taste the pumpkin and it's a much healthier cake as well as being delicious.  I don't suppose you have any pumpkin around the house if you don't have any vegetable oil, but I just thought I'd let you know for future reference.  :)

Answer 5

you can use canola oil instead it doesn't matter...but not peanut oil...ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Answer 6

You can use melted butter if you are not calorie conscious and it will taste better than oil.  

Answer 7

Mix one can of pumpkin with the cake mix, that's all, it's so easy and good.  Very low in fat, this is a weight watchers idea i got!

Answer 8

CANOLA, CORN,   GEE, ( clarified butter) margarine in the stick form

don't care what that 4 star 5 star chef tells you it is not the same they put SPICES IN MAYO and its going to have a garlic and onion taste! oh YUMMY  NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 9

Use the same amount of unsweetened applesauce. Works like a charm and is healthier for you.

Answer 10

this is going to sound a bit weird but trust me on this. I'm a pastry chef at a 4 star hotel/restaurant. I wouldn't lie to you on this.

substitute mayo in place of your oil and eggs. just make sure it is real mayo and not miracle whip
