Butter or Margarine

[Carleyash]

So I have been asking myself this question for some time now, Is there a difference in baked items especially cakes that uses, 1. Butter
2. Margarine
Is there a difference in results if one uses either to make one item i.e Vanilla cake?

I find that using butter makes my cake seem a lot richer but I don’t know whether that’s in my head. I’d love to hear expert opinions from others.

I might sound funny here. Honestly, I don't know the difference between those two. Can someone help me

Its actually quite interesting that most packaging says what the product is in fine print. Some margarine have the word butter on their label but it says margarine right under it so i understand the confusion. A little research would clear it up and recommend some true butter brands. It's a matter of preference for some people. I know for sure that most people don't even bother about the difference!

I use the Anchor butter and find it very enriching!

Butter every time the thinness of the of margarine and low fat messes up the consistency. It's the difference between using butter or straight vegetable oil. Butter also has a better flavor.

Butter is definitely the best option of the two, it makes the flavor better and the texture nicer. Margarine melts into an oily substance when it's baked, and leaves the batter thin and runny.

I only ever use butter, the fresher the better.

I like margarine although I use both lol

I like butter. It is not only delicious but it makes the batter divine. The fresher the butter, the better.

[Amalia Lantano]

Butter is better.

[Cheryl Erickson]

I never use margarine. Butter is my answer every time.

I will go for both depending with what I want to use it for.

I don't even know the difference between the two, I just use anyone I can find the moment I need it and what I do with it always turns out nice
