Thanks for your reply Arthi.. In this recipe, you used butter.. So I can use 4oz of oil instead of butter...i think that's what you meant..
Aarthi
@Rosesorry that was a typo. You cannot use oil. Since butter has be whipped till creamy. it gives the softness to the cake
Rose
Oh k..Thanks for the info Arthi....:)
