Help - peanut oil vs. vegetable oil?

I'm getting ready to make a cake and only have peanut oil and the box calls for vegetable oil......if I use peanut oil, is this okay? What is the difference in the recipe???? Thank you...Help - peanut oil vs. vegetable oil?
No, the peanut oil has a strong taste and the oil is too heavy for a cake.





Try substituting melted butter or margarine.Help - peanut oil vs. vegetable oil?
The cake will probably taste fine but you should be careful that you don't serve it to someone who has a nut allergy.
Go ahead and use it.


It will taste a litle saltier but more interesting
Peanut oil will be fine there. It's nowhere near as strong-flavored as Olive oil. You just don't want to add any extra flavors from the oil.
peanut oil if better for you than vegetable oil it won't change the recipe
Your cake will taste decidedly nutty, but you don't need to change the proportions.





To minimize the taste, you can try going 1/2 butter 1/2 oil, though this will give a heavier texture to the cake.





**Since peanut allergies are relatively common, and potentially fatal, make sure to mention to any guests that the cake contains peanut oil.**
