Eggs are probably out as they wouldn't accomplish the same thing as shortening. Butter in the same ratio would work. I found this recipe and used shortening because that is what it called for, but with butter you would probably end up with a richer cake. Ben Hi Anna,

I know there's really no substitute for shortening, but would butter or oil or eggs or even apple sauce work? I don't really know about baking and I'm not sure what shortening adds. I've heard of adding shortening to pie crusts to make them flaky, but not sure of how it works in cakes. Thanks, Anna Hi,
