Answer 4

I use applesauce in cakes instead of oil or shortening.
BUT this is what my cook book says...
REPLACE Shortening, solid 1 cup WITH
1 1/8 cup butter or margarine (decrease salt in recipe by 1/2 tsp.)

Answer 5

like both, fruits: berries, oatmeal, pears, peaches, dragonfruit, pomegranate.... Vegetables: CUCUMBERS, bok choy, green beans, broccoli,.... I actually guess the two are great.

Answer 6

"Shortening" in a cake recipe is a generic term for "fat", so no.

Answer 7

substitute shortening with a butter or margarine
