Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It’s easy to swap in coconut oil, olive oil, canola oil, avocado oil, or vegetable oil for margarine. When making most recipes, oil is substituted for margarine at a 3:4 ratio. This accounts for any water or other ingredients in the margarine. So for every cup of margarine in the recipe, use 3/4 cup of oil.

Detailed explanation-2: -Margarine can be used as a substitute for butter, and it is particularly useful in baking, since it gives baked goods a softer texture than butter, which some people prefer.

Detailed explanation-3: -Margarine is a blend of oils that are mostly unsaturated fat. Butter is made from cream or milk. The type of fat found in animal products, such as cream, is mostly saturated fat.

Detailed explanation-4: -Margarine is a fat used widely as an ingredient or a spread that resembles butter, but is a common butter substitute. It is made from the emulsion of vegetable and/or animal oil. Like other fats, margarine helps improve mouth feel and flavor in baked goods.
