Cake shortening, high ratio shortening, bakery shortening, icing shortening: shortening that has been changed by adding an emulsifier and then whipping it so it can absorb more sugar and liquid than regular shortening.
One tablespoon of solid shortening weighs 13 grams (from label). There are 16 tablespoons in one cup, so 13 x 16 = 208 grams. One-half cup of shortening weighs 104 grams. One-third cup of shortening weighs 69 grams. One-fourth cup of shortening weighs 52 grams. This is the easiest way to weigh shortening. Just be sure to zero out the scale before adding shortening to the cup or bowl.

If you know the approximate volume of the object (½cup shortening, for example),fill a measuring cup with ½cup cold water, and add the object until you reach twice the volume.For example, ½cup water + ½cup shortening = 1 cup → this would mean that you have ½cup of the irregular object (shortening).
You can safely substitute liquid oil for solid shortening in baking ONLY if the recipe calls for the shortening to be melted first. You can substitute butter or margarine for shortening ( 1 cup + 2 Tbsp for each cup of shortening). You can also substitute 1/2 cup applesauce or prune puree for each cup of shortening.
