    What can I use in place of vegetable oil?
    Well, the title says it all. My husband and I are having some friends over tonight, and we want to make brownies, but our box version calls for vegetable oil, and we don't have any in the apartment. What can I use in place of it?

    Butter is a good substitute. Or if you have any margarine that will do nicely.

    It depends what you are making. If you're making a cake, then olive oil will work. But if your making pastries, I would use butter

    sunflour oil, special baking butter, but the best recipe is:
    Ingredients
    * 375g plain chocolate, broken into pieces
    * 250g baking margarine
    * 2 tsp instant coffee
    * 2 tbsp hot water
    * 2 eggs
    * 250g caster sugar
    * 1 tsp vanilla extract
    * 90g self-raising flour
    * 175g walnut pieces
    * 250g plain chocolate chips

    Method
    1. Grease a 30x23cm (12x9in) roasting tin, line the base with greaseproof paper, and grease the paper.

    2. Put the chocolate and margarine in a bowl and sit the bowl on top of a small saucepan of gently simmering water. Melt the chocolate slowly, then remove the bowl from the pan and let the chocolate cool.

    3. Put the coffee in another bowl, pour in the hot water, and stir to dissolve. Add the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract. Gradually beat in the chocolate mixture. Fold in the flour and walnuts, then the chocolate chips.

    4. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake in a preheated oven at 190°C (170°C fan, Gas 5) for about 40–45 minutes or until firm to the touch. Don’t overcook – the crust should be dull and crisp, but the middle should still be gooey. Leave to cool in the tin, then cut into 24 pieces.
    Any more info on this, just search Mary Berry's Chocolate brownies. I've used this recipe loads, and always gets people wanting for more, and I haven't even started the gcse cookery course yet! :)
