Yes, or even the same amount in butter :)
Several groups of people don't eat lard. Lard is made from pig fat. This prevents vegetarians, vegans, Muslims, and Jews from eating products made with lard. A good substitute is vegetable oil shortening.
Palm oil is considered a hard oil. You can substitute Lard, Tallow, Coconut oil, or Vegetable shortening.
Margarine, Crisco, lard, or solidified olive oil butter.
Lard or Margarine
Yes, you can melt shortening and use in a cake recipe. It will change the texture and possibly add heaviness to the cake, but it will still be good.
Yes, lard can be used in place of margarine in recipes where a buttery flavor is not essential.
No, pie crust is one of the things that has to use a solid shortening.
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.
Lard can be used to replace butter in shortcrust pastry recipes and gives good results. The most effective method is to substitute half the specified butter quantity with lard, rather than use lard entirely.
Lard has more saturated fats
You could probably substitute a solid white shortening such as Crisco for lard, although I would be concerned about unhealthy aspects of partially hydrogenated oil.
Both are correct, you can say substitute for or substitute with.
