Virgin Olive oild vs vegetable oil

[monkeyboy]

All I have is olive, cake box says veggie

Will it change flavor of cake?

Maybe if you don't tell anyone they won't notice. Do you have any applesauce? You can substitute it 1 to 1 I believe.

Depends how dark the olive oil is.

I would not use olive oil for a cake, either use applesauce or a stick of butter.

Eek! Yes!

MIL this did this when she just HAD to bake us a cake at our house at 6 am and couldn't find the vegetable oil. Gross cake.

Get your Monkey Butt in the car and go buy some vegetable oil.

What is even better than applesauce is yogart.

I will second that "EEK YES!" and add my own!


I did this once out of desperation and it was HORRIBLE! We are dessert-loving people, and we couldn't eat it. It was truly awful.

That yummy flavor that olive oil gives to your pasta...you do NOT want it in your dessert!

Eek! Yes!

Yes! Use melted butter.

Virgin oil definitely tastes different. It's way too strong. It's very easy to taste the difference. Don't do it!

(Any olive oil wouldn't work for something sweet like a cake, virgin , extra or regular.)

yes it will make the cake disgusting and inedible!!!

and really what is with your posts, loose meat, pickles, olive oil
I am sensing some sort of trend.

Olive oil also burns at a lower temperature than vegetable oil, so it will affect the chemical reactions in the cake. Not a good idea.

I agree with the PP's - don't use the olive oil.

I always use canola oil when baking instead of vegetable oil.

Canola oil is a form of vegetable oil, just a different type.
