Fat, such as oil or margarine, is used in cake to enhance texture, moisture, and flavor. It helps create a tender crumb by coating flour proteins, which reduces gluten formation and prevents the cake from becoming tough. Additionally, fat contributes to the cake's richness and prolongs its freshness by retaining moisture.
