Yes, the light flavored olive oil works great as a substitution for other vegetable oils. However some recopies specifically call for butter or shortening so while it can be a good and healthy substitution the flavor and texture may not be exactly the same.

∙ 11y agoYes - some recipes require oil rather than butter or margarine. For most cakes you should use a plain tasting salad oil like sunflower or safflower oil. Occassionally you may encounter an Italian or Mediterranean recipe that requires olive oil. Of course the oil used must be fresh - not rancid, or left-over oil from your deep-fryer.
You can substitute butter with oil in a recipe. If the recipe is written with the ingredients measured by volume then use the same volume of oil as butter; if it is wrtiten using weights, then weigh out the same weight of oil.
Because oil is liquid you may have to adjust the liquid content of the recipe in order to get the correct consistency of mix. You can add a little extra flour, add an extra egg, or add the oil by degrees until the mixture reaches a consistency that looks 'right'.
Cakes made with oil tend to remain moist and keep fresh longer than those made with butter.

Is baking with coconut oil healthier than butter?
The oils are probably not interchangeable on any dish. They have very different tastes... Coconut oil is much higher in saturated fats than olive oil. So much higher that it's melting temperature is only76F. Whereas, olive oil has so few saturated fats, that it's melting point is only 21F, lower than that of water. Being a plant oil, there is no cholesterol, but the high saturated fat content makes it a not so inviting oil to use for regular cooking. If there is a special dish that requires the oil, and it's flavor, I would use it, but not in regular cooking.
