Yes, I have done this several times, and I see little difference between using oil and applesauce. Couple of things to think about beforehand.
1. Use unsweetened applesauce, otherwise adjust your sugar amount, sorry I don't know how much, as I always used unsweetened.
2. The oil helps somewhat to keep things from sticking, I always use parchment paper for baking, trust me, its awesome and its in the foil/plastic wrap section, and can be used for almost anything up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit that you don't want sticking
3. I tend to use 2 times more applesauce than oil, again the unsweetened kind. I have also cut the oil amount in half, and used the applesauce x2.
I am not a professional by any means, baking is more about chemistry than anything. I recommend playing with the amounts a bit before showing off your healthier cake. Hope this helps!

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.

Can applesauce replace vegetable oil?
Depending on the recipe, you can replace some but not all of the shortening (whether vegetable or non vegetable) with apple sauce. (Don't substitute in pastry, goods which rely on their high fat content (Victoria sponges etc...), or goods which need to have a long shelf life). In most other recipes you can substitute about 1/3 of the shortening for applesauce, however because apple sauce has a higher liquid content than shortening, you may need to reduce the amount of liquid used elsewhere in the recipe. It's probably easier in the long run if you use recipes that are actually designed for use with apple sauce.
