Answer 1

Do Not Use Butter!! plz! I make cupcakes and cakes for a living, and have used olive oil, there has been no problem with the taste whatsoever! In fact I use olive oil more times than I do any other oil...and my cupcakes and cakes seem to be fluffier and moister! Why are you worried to use olive oil??

Answer 2

If the recipe calls for vegetable oil, that's what you need ... you can't use butter.

Answer 3

1/2 cup for one packet ready mix
