no, it will not work, don’t even think about trying…just trying to save you time and effort. Butter has cream in it that oil cannot substitute.

sounds to me like you are over cooking them. Cook for the minimum time the recipe calls for, test to see if they are done with toothpick and remove them from the oven.

can i substitute vegetable oil for butter in chocolate cupcake recipe?

Question by zara: can i substitute vegetable oil for butter in chocolate cupcake recipe?
one recipe calls for 1 cup butter while other csalls for 1/2 cup butter. I dont hva ebutter in hand and cant go buy one right now either, so it possible to substitute vegetable oil for unsalted butter?

Best answer:

Answer by Danii
Yes, you can use vegetable oil if the recipe calls for butter (if it is melted). The moistness of the finished product may change slightly but it is fine if you have no butter on hand. The only time I would suggest NOT using oil is if the recipe says to “cream the butter” with sugar, etc. If that is the case, try to substitute shortening.
