How to measure butter

The easiest way is to use the tablespoon marks printed on the butter wrapper and cut along the lines. For accuracy, weigh butter on a kitchen scale, or press softened butter into a measuring cup and level the top. For more options, see my guide on how to measure butter.

How to substitute butter with olive oil

To replace butter with olive oil, use about ¾ of the amount of butter called for, since oil is pure fat while butter contains water. For example, swap 1 cup of butter for roughly ¾ cup of olive oil. This works well in cakes like an oil sponge cake or an apple and olive oil cake.
