My guess is you'll be sorry with that substitution, vegetable oil has practically no taste Olive oil tastes like ........Well Olives do you think olive flavored carrot cake sounds good? A better sub might be canola oil for a cake. In cooking use olive whenever possible .
Yes indeed. I don't think I would use a fine Extra VIrgin variety though, as they are usually too strongly flavored for cakes (better for salads, sauteing).
Sure, why not! There's actually ';olive oil'; cakes.
Yes but use a lite extra virgin olive oil so you will not get a heavy taste
Olive Oil would work absolutely fine :) Much better for you too.
YES YES YES and bravo to you for choosing a healthy alternative.


Carrot and olive oil sounds like a health food cake to me.
Sure you could use olive oil, also try to use applesauce in the recipe to replace the vegetable oil. I have provided a recipe below using applesauce!





Enjoy!
