Best Answer

you can use melted butter or shortening, however if you use butter it may affect the texture a bit. you can use applesauce as well. many people that are following low or no fat diets use this as a substitute, because it helps to keep the cupcakes/brownies/cakes/what have you REALLY moist!

A cupcake will not be affected too much even if there's a lot of oil in it. Vegetable oil is one of the most flavorless oils available. The recipe can be balanced out with some vanilla or a bit more sugar, however the oiliness will start to show in the texture.

Other than an oily texture, cupcakes won't be too affected by vegetable oil. The oily texture isn't appealing. However, the vegetable oil won't provide much taste or at all.

What is the purpose of fats in cupcakes?

Fats in cupcakes serve the same purpose as they do in cakes. The fats in cupcakes give them moistness, flavor and a better texture. Without fats, they would be very dry and unappealing to eat. There are several different types of fats that can be used in them, and most recipes do allow for substitution of one type of fat for another. Some of the fats that are used in cupcakes and cakes are shortening, butter, margarine and vegetable oil. You can also use olive oil and coconut oil in many recipes for baked goods.
