Can I substitute oil for butter in a cake recipe?

I have this awesome 5 minute microwave chocolate cake recipe which feeds 2 people. It is literally a 5 minute cake from when i mix the ingredients from scratch to when I put it in the microwave. The recipe calls for 3 tablespoons of oil but I am wondering if I can substitute with butter? The only other 'juice' that the recipe has is 3 Tablespoons of milk and 1 egg. I Was thinking it may be too dry if I use butter. The cake is literally in the microwave for 2陆 mins and then we eat it with vanilla ice-cream.

but hey!butter turns out a better and softer cake.Can I substitute oil for butter in a cake recipe?
If you have time you can use clarified margarine. Margarine is mostly vegetable oil anyway. Just cook it not burn it until the water evaporates and you have a buttery flavored vegetable oil.
well, one way to find out for sure is to try, i think if it is a microwave recipe you might want to follow the directions a little more closelyy
You can use butter, but the probability is you will need to change the recipe.
Sure butter would be fine. In original recipes for cakes and cookies- the ingredient is butter.
you can, but it will not give te desired result and will taste horrible.
Butter will be good, it'll make it taste even better than if you made it with oil.
no it wont bake right...yucky
