you can use diffrent types fo actracts.
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.
When a recipe calls for ginger and you do not have any, you can substitute another spice like mace in place of the ginger. Nutmeg is another spice that you can use. Replacing the ginger may change the taste of your recipe.
I believe you use the apple sauce to replace the oil... healthier recipe and it doesnt taste any different... makes a very moist cake too!
Might be too heavy, leading to soggy or a dense textured cake. You can substitute applesauce-the amount is half of what the recipe calls for.
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.
No, your cake will have a strange texture. You can substitute mayo or apple sauce for oil though. You could even use butter, but I am guessing you are trying to get a low fat recipe?
yes
I personally would use normal cornflour instead because wheaten cornflour is really hard to find but you may wish to use something else.
applesauce, applebutter, prunebutter, and pumpkin.
raisins
Generally, all-purpose flour is good. You can also use whole wheat -or multigrain flour if you wish.
use butter flavored crisco You could use margarine. http://www.ukfoodies.co.uk has a delicious cookie recipe, this recipe has butter, but you could substitute it with margarine.
