If the recipe calls for oil, any vegetable oil is fine, though I don't recommend olive oil for that - it's distinctive flavor will come through in the cake. But corn oil, safflower oil, canola oil, etc, are all fine.

The smoking point and taste of oil factor in when choosing the best oil for baking. Oil heated past the smoking post will reduce the nutrients and flavor. Flavor affects the taste of combined ingredients. So the used oil that does overwhelm the final product is important.
