What is softened margarine?

The major difference is in the formulation, specifically the ratio of saturated to unsaturated fats. Hard margarine will have a higher ratio of saturated to unsaturated fat and therefore will be more solid at room temperature. Soft margarine (sometimes called spreadable margarine) will have a lower ratio of saturated to unsaturated fat and therefore will be less solid at room temperature. At high temperatures (think summer with no A/C), soft margarine may start to separate into liquid and solid phases as the unsaturated fats melt and float to the surface.

If it is too cold, or too warm, the cake won't rise properly. Creaming the butter with room temperature butter or margarine allows air to incorporate into it properly.
