There are a number of ingredients which can be used to provide the fat in baked goods. It often depends on what you are baking. Some of the most common fats for baked goods are butter, margarine, shortening, vegetable oil and lard (lard is rendered animal fat, and makes excellent pie crusts). Some that have more recently begun being used are coconut oil and olive oil.
