If you are substituting oil for butter in baking use about the same volume.
When a cake recipe calls for shortening, you can substitute it with butter or margarine for a richer flavor, but the texture may be slightly different. Vegetable oil can also be used, but it will change the cake's consistency and moisture level. If you have Crisco (a brand of shortening), it's the best direct substitute. Overall, the choice depends on the desired flavor and texture of the cake.
A suitable shortening substitute for cake is vegetable oil or melted butter.
Might be too heavy, leading to soggy or a dense textured cake. You can substitute applesauce-the amount is half of what the recipe calls for.

This question already has a very good answerCan_you_substitute_vegetable_oil_for_butter_in_a_cake_recipe
Applesauce is substituted in baking for the oil that the recipe calls for.
Yes you can. You can use any flavor you wish but sometimes you probably should just use the flavoring suggesting but it's totally up to you. That's what wee do when we make frosting for my cakes. I am a cake decorator and we substitute flavors depending on the flavor of the cake.
== == 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.
