You can substitute applesauce in cake mix. However, in certain cake mixes that do not have lots of flavor, the applesauce is very noticeable. I would suggest using it in rich chocolate cakes and cakes with fruit, not plain vanilla cakes.

Yes, from 1/4-1 to 1-1 ratio. You may also have to adjust your liquid, depending how thick or thin your applesauce is, and use unsweetened unless you want the cake to be super sweet. However, if you're doing a cake with a strong flavor like chocolate or spice cake, you might like to try pureed Prunes or prune baby food. It adds over 15 different vitamins and minerals, in addition to moistness, fiber and antioxidants, all while lowering fat, cholesterol and calories.

What can you substitute for vegetable oil in baking cake?
I'm a huge fan of replacing oil with applesauce. If the recipe calls for 1/2 c. of oil, I use 1/2 c. applesauce as a healthy alternative. You will not taste apple regardless of the cake's flavor. If you don't keep applesauce in your home you can also use sour cream, or plain yogurt in the same way. Best of luck! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hmm!! leaving out the shortening will affect the texture of the cake, I will not say the above answer is wrong but try it on a small cake first.

A box cake calling for 3 egg whites would not rise properly without the egg whites. Applesauce is not a suitable substitute for egg whites. Possible solutions would be to borrow eggs from a neighbor, or prepare a different dessert using available ingredients.
