Oil Cakes - Bake from the Ground Up

      Cakes prepared with cooking oils feature a delicately light texture and are notably more moist than those made with butter. An added advantage? Neutral oils won’t impart any strong flavors, allowing them to serve as the perfect base for delicious mix-ins—from a spiced variation of traditional zucchini bread to a strawberry cornmeal cake infused with orange blossom.

      When a baking recipe specifies oil or “neutral oil,” many of us automatically reach for vegetable oil. However, there is a wide array of options available in the pantry, each offering distinct price ranges, potential health benefits, and varying results in baking.
