Your best bet would be to use butter (the fat and water contents are pretty identical). Your second best substitute would be margarine, however the water content is higher meaning you would have to reduce the amount of fluid in the rest of the recipe. (Otherwise it will be runnier than intended).

At absolute worst you could use a plain flavoured oil, but since this is much more liquidy than shortening you would have to really reduce the water content in the rest of the recipe.

What is the use of egg white in cakes?

They're especially helpful with no cholesterol recipes. Also, when making white cakes the egg whites keep the cake white instead of giving them a tinted yellow color from the yolks.
