One additional note: You can actually substitute 1 cup of applesauce for both the oil and the eggs if you want to.

That I've done before @loriqvc in my bread recipes. Totally didn't think of it for the cake. Thank you so much!

don't you have veg oil ?

I'd think you could taste applesauce in a lemon cake too. I sure wouldn't use olive oil.

@Sooner We've been around and have trouble with how things have changed since our day LOL Whole new world out there ! I've been at the stove and sink since I was 12.

You can use olive oil but I would use a light olive oil not extra virgin.
You can also use butter. It will give it more flavor.
Yes you can also use unsweetened applesauce. I don't know if I would use all applesauce. Try half applesauce with half butter.
Do you have some butter at home also?

@Nightowlz I do not. I am just going to stop in the store on the way home and get the right thing.

@Laura14 - That's probably the best idea; if this were just for an everyday dessert, the substitution might matter less, but for a birthday cake, you don't want to end up with unexpected results. Good luck!

My thoughts exactly @loriqvc. I'm gonna make the effort since it's for a step sister I haven't seen in 10 years AND I have a rep to protect. LOL
