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.
You can substitute with margarine, but other then that no.
Most cake recipes actually call for butter. Some recipes call for vegetable oil. It all depends on the recipe.

Unless you're in high altitude you can. If you do leave out butter, you don't get as good of a flavor in the finished product though. Putting in oil will make it moister so make sure you measure carefully!
I use butter for mine. It comes out of the oven very fluffy and light.
== == 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.
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.
It depends on the cake. There are different types of cake.
