If you're making the cake outside of Passover, then any margarine would work. If dairy isn't an issue then butter can be used. If it's during Passover, you could try oil but depending on type of cake, it might not work.

When a cake recipe calls for shortening, you can substitute it with butter or margarine for a richer flavor, but the texture may be slightly different. Vegetable oil can also be used, but it will change the cake's consistency and moisture level. If you have Crisco (a brand of shortening), it's the best direct substitute. Overall, the choice depends on the desired flavor and texture of the cake.

Make sure to use the same amount of margarine as the amount of butter called for in the recipe.
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.
