Yes, you can use butter as a substitute for oil in cake recipes. Typically, you can replace oil with an equal amount of melted butter for similar results. Keep in mind that using butter may add a richer flavor and slightly alter the texture of the cake. Just ensure the butter is properly melted and cooled before mixing it with other ingredients.

== == I have never tried this with butter but it works for substituting for oil You can substitute vegetable oil for butter in a cake, but be aware that some vegetable oils have a strong or savoury flavour that might not be suitable for a cake. Taste the oil first. Also, butter, being a natural animal product, melts at body temperature, giving a luxurious mouth-feel as it melts in your mouth, so this aspect of the pleasant texture of the cake will be lost. Also, butter can be whipped or creamed more easily to incorporate air into the cake and will therefore more easily give a lighter cake than oil.


If you have 12 cup butter for a cake and you need 1 cup how much oil do you need to make up for it?

Since the oil is liquid, I would use 1/3 of a cup. Your question showed up as 12 cup butter, I assume it was meant to read 1/2 cup. If the butter is not a main flavor part of the cake, I think you will have a hard time telling the difference between this and a full butter cake.
