No. You can use applesauce in place of oil or shortening in brownies, but it's not a good idea to substitute it in a cake. there may be exceptions, depending on the cake recipe though. Applesauce is a good way to make brownies low fat.

Some times the important thing isn't can I but what will happen if I do. See baking with various oils can be done. However the texture and flavor will change depending on what oil you are using. In this case I would say unless you are using a brownie recipe that has lots of nuts and ribbons of something like caramel, it will probably not taste right.

I think that you'll be able to taste the difference. Olive oil has a fairly distinctive flavor. If you're feeling brave, maybe it'll turn out really great. On the other hand... maybe the neighbors have some canola oil you could borrow or swap for some olive oil?

Not a good idea. Olive oil is much better when used with pastas and other things. Otherwise, stick with the vegetable oil.

Olive oil is really not used for baking unless it's an italian specialty. It will totally change thye taste of whatever your baking. Go buy vegetable, canola or corn oil for baking

yes, olive oil will work, might be a little difference in the taste, but maybe not. I've never used it in brownies

I'm sure that there are folks out there with a super refined palate who could taste the difference, but as long as the cake has some other flavoring such as chocolate, you won't notice the difference.

Don't do it! Melt some butter or oleo (can't spell margarine). Olive oil's taste doesn't blend well with sweets/chocolate.

It will leave a different and out-of-place flavor in your baking. Other than that, it shouldn't act any differently.
But really, I'd wait until I had vegetable oil.
