Hi Bincy, can I replace the butter with oil in this recipe? I sent you an email, please answer soon! I plan to make it pretty soon and this is urgent.

@Bincy Chris, Thank you so much! I did try it with oil and added more baking powder, but it turned out kind of like a block of cheese. So I don't recommend using oil! Thank you so much though and it tastes sooooo good!

Hi Becklynn, Actually I have not tried this exact recipe with oil. So I am not sure about it. I would suggest you to reduce the amount of oil by 2 tbsp than butter ie to use 170 ml in place of 200 g butter.And as oil can't trap air like we do when creaming butter, to get better texture , I would suggest you to increase the amount of baking powder to 1 tsp instead of 1/2 tsp. I hope your lemon cake will turn out soft and delicious.
