Fats in cupcakes serve the same purpose as they do in cakes. The fats in cupcakes give them moistness, flavor and a better texture. Without fats, they would be very dry and unappealing to eat. There are several different types of fats that can be used in them, and most recipes do allow for substitution of one type of fat for another. Some of the fats that are used in cupcakes and cakes are shortening, butter, margarine and vegetable oil. You can also use olive oil and coconut oil in many recipes for baked goods.
