A common substitute though is Apple Sauce. Replace apple sauce for the vegetable oil and you will get a much moister cake. The proof is in the taste ... try it, you'll like it. You can definitely do it however: I'm eating a piece of cake made with it right now!

A different view:
I would not use olive oil in cakes because it does add its taste to the batter.

How do you substitute Extra Virgin Olive Oil for Vegetable oil?
Olive oil has a very distinctive taste. Depending on what kind of recipe you are making would depend on if it would be appropriate to use it. I would say definatly not if you are making any kind of dessert. You would be better off using canola oil. It does not have the distinctive taste. If you are using it in a salad dressing, say, you could probably get away with using the olive oil.
