Hello Jeena,

This is a marvelous cake :). Will love to try.
Jeena, if I would like to substitute salted/unsalted butter in a recipe, do you know which one is the best for baking? Healthy and low fat but doesn't affect the moisture and the rising of the cake. Says a Chocolate rich cake. I am not sure if low fat olive oil spread works.

Thanks,
Nellie

Hi Nellie,

The best margarines to use as a healthier buttter is any non-hydrogenated vegan margarine. They usually use seed oils, are low in saturated fats and are great for baking.

Thanks, Jeena. :-)
