Best Answer

The butter in buttercreme icing is just used as a flavor additive. I would be careful using margarine that may have a different taste. I would advise using a butter-flavored margarine if you decide to make the substitution.

Technically, yes, though it does depend on a few things. First, butter will give the buttercream a buttery flavour. Margarine might not taste as good. Some margarines taste better than others, though many people think butter is better.

Also, buttercream assumes you are using a fat taht is about the consistency of butter: if you try to use the spreadable margarine in a tub, you will not get a good result. It will be too soft and your icing might slide right off your cake. Butter will give a more predictable result.

Yes, use the same amount of margarine in the recipe that it calls for butter. Margarine is a butter substitute.

What can be a substitute for butter cream?

There is no substitute for sugar when making butter-cream frosting. However if you use melted chocolate your frosting will still work, it'll just be a little different. Butter-cream frosting cannot be made without sugar. Melted chocolate will not produce a butter-cream frosting, but will produce chocolate spread over a cake.


Can you use cream cheese instead of butter in cake?

Yes, in some cake recipes and in some cake mixes, cream cheese is a delicious substitution for butter.

Can you melt margarine instead of butter when making cheesecake?

The cheese contains proteins which help to add structure to the product. Usually flour will provide the majority of the structure of a cake (since it contains gluten, a protein), but in a cheesecake, there is less flour due to the addition of cheese. Additionally the cheese adds a unique texture and flavor. It wouldn't be a cheesecake without cheese.
