Can you use butter instead of oil for cupcakes?

Answer 1

Yes, I normally use a basic cake recipe to make cupcakes, just putting them in smaller cases and lowering the cooking times slightly so they don't over cook.

8 oz self raising flour

8 oz butter or marg

8 oz castor sugar

4 eggs

(substitute in 1 - 2 tbsp of cocoa powder instead of flour for chocolate)

Answer 2

Yes,When it comes to baking, substituting butter for oil is simple. Most cake mixes call for oil, but butter will bring in amazing flavor. To substitute butter for oil in baking just melt the butter, measure it, let it cool, and add it as you would the oil.

Answer 4

No, use shortening, margarine or butter, lard makes them greasy and taste terrible.
