My son is allergic to margarine and specific cooking oils. I'm using applesauce to replace the oil for the cake and needing to know what i could use to replace the margarine. I was going to use coconut oil, but not sure how it would turn out?

L: I believe it is worth trying utilizing applesauce to replace the fat in margarine. You would like to have a product that is thicker, rather than watery. So steaming the water out, and thickening the applesauce will make a better product. After reducing substitute 1 cup for 1 cup. Let me know how it works out. Look for a very thick coconut milk for substitution, they are on the market.
