it won't work (at least it didn't work for me), the cake came out with a horrible texture... it looks more like a souffle, i bake some cupcakes and they are sooooooo heavy am guessing the margarine behaives different than oil
Yes, vegetable oil is called for in most carrot cake recipes. It might be that the particular recipe you are using calls for grapeseed oil because of some special nutritive quality or medical benefit.
Corn oil is a type of vegetable oil. Canola, sunflower, or olive oil will work just as well in a carrot cake.
Yes. (Corn oil is sometimes actually considered to be "vegetable oil").
no a carrot is a vegetable
yes
Its a carrot cake served in ugoslavia. :)
YesA different answer:Butter is a major ingredient in pound cake and the primary source of flavor. Substituting margarine for butter might produce a cake, but it would be an imitation of a pound cake, just as margarine is an inexpensive imitation of butter.
You can make carrot cake with or without nuts. If you want them, pecans and walnuts work well.
yes margarine is lighter
Spreading out the hot carrot cake increases the surface area of the carrot cake. When more of the carrot cake comes into contact with the surrounding air, more heat can travel from the carrot cake to the surrounding air. In this way, the carrot cake cools faster.(This is the exact answer! Did lots of research to find this much information!)
Butter.A further response:Since margarine was developed as an inexpensive substitute for butter, butter is also a good substitute for margarine. Depending on exactly what recipe you are making, other possible substitutes might be lard or chicken fat (schmaltz), or a neutral tasting vegetable oil such as canola oil. Each type of fat will produce a slightly different baked product.
Of Course! One very quick and easy way of making a lovely moist cake without eggs, oil, butter or margarine is to just blend it with a block of silken Tofu (soft or firm). And then cook it as per instructions. Saves on the calories too. Otherwise, just melt the same amount of butter or margarine to replace the oil, and add that.
Butter or lard can be used instead of shortening in cakes. Some types of neutral-tasting oils, such as vegetable oil or canola oil, can be used in many cake recipes.
