Yes, you can use olive oil in any cake recipe to replace any other fat. You might want to use regular olive oil instead of extra virgin as it has a lot of flavour. A lot of people will tell you not to use EVOO because of that, but if you don't use too much, it tastes great in any recipe.

∙ 6y agoIf a cake recipe specifies oil and doesn't specify what kind, you should use an oil that does not contribute any flavor. Olive oil has a distinctive flavor and odor that may effect the taste of the cake. It should not affect the texture of the cake but it may taste a little different.

You can use shortening, butter or margarine, or even mayonnaise or lard in some recipes. Actually, many chocolate cake recipes call for mayonnaise instead of oil or butter. Just keep in mind that margarine has a higher water content than butter, so you may want to use all butter or half butter/half margarine if that's the substitution you choose.

Can you use sesame oil in cake mix?
Yes you can :) A good oil to use is canola because it's virtually taste-less. Olive oil is fine but may give your dessert a slightly olive-y taste. I love using coconut oil because it most resembles butter (solid at room temperature) and I love the subtle creamy/ coconutty flavor it has.
