[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can often pin a recipe in a time or place based on the ingredients. So when people have beloved family recipes passed down they might have different ingredients based on what was available/expensive. For example a lot of carrot cake recipes still call for vegetable oil because they were created during or after WWII. Clearly I’m someone who likes to think about these things but I would not assume it has anything to do with money since it would save very little overall. [/quote] Using vegetable oil will ensure your cake stays moist if you do all the other things right. It's assumed using butter will taste better. I often find it hard to tell the difference. High butter recipes often feel greasy to me. [/quote]
