New to site--substitute question

[mawi]

I found a simple white cake recipe online but it calls for shortening which I do not have or use. May I substitute vegetable oil for the shortening?

 

[Glorie]

It may change the consistancy and the other ingredients may have to be altered. Do you have room temperature butter instead?

 

[QSis]

Yes, you can, mawi.
