I baked this very light and fluffy sponge cake for a little girl’s birthday. It was a hit and devoured in record time.

Replacing Butter With Oil

Depending on the type of oil, it can add complex flavor and welcome moisture to your baked goods. A good rule of thumb is to replace about 3/4 of the butter in a recipe with olive, canola, or vegetable oil (if the recipe calls for 1 cup of butter, use ¾ cup of oil). Read more here.
