Can canola oil be substituted for shortening in baking recipes?
I want to bake something sweet, but I am trying to reduce restrict eating or using things like shortening, so I don't have any in the house, and I only have canola oil or butter (I also have a tub of Country Crock spreadable margarine)
I found a recipe for Snickerdoodle cake, and it calls for 1/2 cup of shortening.
But, I don't use or have shortening, and only have butter, oil or margarine. So, instead of using shortening, can I use one of these for the cake?
If so, what are the equivalent measurements?
