What is the advantage of using a plastic fat in a shortened cake rather than oil?


Oil coats the flour particles and fails to entrap air. Therefore, oil does not permit creaming. A plastic fat is suitable for creaming and entraps air to enhance volume. Mono- and diglycerides in plastic fat also serve as an emulsifier to provide fine dispersion of fat and yield a soft, moist cake.
