Can you substitute butter for the Crisco called for in the cake recipe? I can't use Crisco in anything - gives me horrible indigestion and for me is literally indigestible. I would think substitution is OK but some recipes are fussier than others and since butter contains more water than Crisco, it might make a difference...

Yes

You can use butter or margarine, in fact the original recipe calls for part butter for flavor, I always use Crisco because it makes a much finer texture in a layer cake, I do add a tsp of butter flavoring.

Norge..that cake looks and sounds delish. Wish I had the time to make this but I'm behind on things. It will have to wait till next week. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Cheryl
