No, your cake will have a strange texture. You can substitute mayo or apple sauce for oil though. You could even use butter, but I am guessing you are trying to get a low fat recipe?
Applesauce is a good substitute. Other pureed fruits may also work. Some use yogurt, butter, margarine, egg whites, sugar, or honey as substitutes. Many low-fat products make up for the fat with sugars, making the product higher-calorie than the original.
low fat butter is best especially flora as it is low fat and low in calories.
Margarine may be substituted for butter when making dough as long as it is not "lite" or "low fat" margarine. It is a great option for Vegans.
You can actually make low fat rice crispy treats. If you substitute regular butter for low fat butter it will cut out quite a bit of calories. When you purchase the pre-made rice crispy treats they are only 90 calories. You can also make low calorie smores by substituting the ingredients for lower calorie ones.
For a healthy recipe for potatoes au gratin substitute low fat milk for whole milk and a butter substitute for actual butter. There are low sodium versions of this available in stores; that alone can make it healthier by reducing the sodium by up to 50%.

The low fat peanut butter has less fat than the original peanut butter, and has a lighter, almost un-noticeable taste.
Not all shortening is oil, but all oil (consumable oil, that is) is shortening. Shortening is another word for fat used in cooking, especially baking. The most common shortenings are butter and margarine and, to a lesser degree, Crisco. Other oils can be used, too. (And some low-fat recipes substitute apple sauce or prune butter for traditional fat-based shortenings.)
You can prepare your favorite recipe and don't add any butter. You can substitute it with sour cream or low fat milk. That way they will still get the taste.
Used as a topping or as an ingredient in low fat cooking or baking, it contains the flavor of butter without the fat or cholesterol. Since it contains dehydrated butter, it would be considered vegetarian, but not vegan. More info is found on the company's website, click below. http://www.butterbuds.com/faq/index.html
It depends on the dish but in some baking recipes you can substitute apple sauce for half or even more of the oil. In recipes that call for ground beef you substitute shredded carrots or other veggies for some of the beef.
