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 variety of alternate ingredients that can be used instead of oil or butter in the preparation of foods. Substitute products exist with reduced fat and no fat and in different forms such as spreadable and liquid. Fruit purees or applesauce can be used as oil substitutes for baking purposes. Add skim milk to applesauce or fruit-based purees for liquid cooking oil substitutes. Butter buds mixed to form a liquid, corn syrup, and cooking sprays may also be used as good oil substitutions. Non-sticking cooking pans can be used in order to reduce or eliminate oil required for cooking.
substitute goat's milk or yogurt made from gaot's milk with your recipe (available at Whole Foods)
Yogurt is not a good substitute for butter in any recipe; yogurt is lower in fat, higher in liquid and far more acidic than butter. These qualities make it very different to butter, hence it's not a good substitute.
Not really; an egg yolk has a very unique set of properties that make it difficult to substitute with anything. It is a fat, a stabiliser and an emulsifier. Yogurt is none of these, which make it a less than ideal substitute.
Obviously! vanilla Yogurt recipe.
No. 2 percent milk is much too thin and lacks the fat and consistency needed to substitute for sour cream in any recipe. Low-Fat Yogurt would be a better substitute for sour cream.
A great substitute is soy yogurt.
Buttermilk.
