Spreadable butter

Post by p.penn »

Has anyone ever used spreadable butter for baking cakes? As I am on a low salt diet, I was wondering about using it instead of soft marg. You can get unsalted soft butter, and I don't think you can get unsalted marg.

I've used Lurpak unsalted spreadable in cakes, don't recall having any problems with it but I went back to Tesco's unsalted block butter as it was a lot cheaper :-D

I use Lidl's Danpak spreadable in cooking. No problems at all.

You can make some cakes/sponges using oil rather than solid fats.

No problem as long as you don't try low fat spreadable.
