Best Answer

You can safely substitute liquid oil for solid shortening in baking ONLY if the recipe calls for the shortening to be melted first.

You can substitute butter or margarine for shortening ( 1 cup + 2 Tbsp for each cup of shortening).

You can also substitute 1/2 cup applesauce or prune puree for each cup of shortening.
