You can make what is sometimes referred to as a "whisked sponge" (I think it may be the same as an angel food cake, but I'm not sure) it's also the same method used to make a Swiss roll sponge. It's a cake recipe that involves whisking egg whites with sugar until stiff peaks, then adding flour and the egg yolks (sometimes a leavening agent such as bicarb). The batter is then baked. This is completely free of butter, margarine or oil. The only downside is that the sponge does not last long before going stale (due to lack of fat) - you get a couple of days at most.
You can also substitute applesauce or yogurt for the oil/butter in most recipes. it will change the consistency a little.

What can you substitute for butter?
There are a lot of things you can substitute butter with. You can use margarine, apple sauce, and even pumpkin.

It makes the muffins extremely moist and delicious, and a lot healthier.

Substitutes for shortening are butter and margarine in sticks. Use the same amount as called for in your recipe. Keep in mind, plain shortening will NOT be as flavorful as butter or margarine. Do not use soft margarine in a tub as it contains too much water.
