Butter substitution in a cake recipe
« on: November 15, 2012, 02:10:26 am »
I am going to give this Canned Cake recipe of Stef's a go this weekend but cannot use butter.  Any suggestins for a successful butter substitute?

Would a dairy-free spready be alright Marina? I often use Nuttelex in baking because my SD can't tolerate dairy.

Nuttelex is what I was thinking of as well, I just wanted the reassurance.  Thanks for that Amy and Chookie.

Marina,  don't use the Lite version as it is full of water.

OK, I wouldn't have thought of that.  Thanks for letting me know.
