You can if your recipe is using the Melted Fat method, oil may be able to be substituted for the butter.
The reason for using solid fat - i.e., butter, is because when it is beaten it holds air. Liquid fats will not do that.

I make this once a week makes a small roast pan size cake
3.5 c flour 3.5 c sugar 3 t/s Baking powder 1.5 c cocoa 1 cup oil 2 cups milk 3 t/s baking soda 1 t/s salt 4 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 cups of boiling water (added at end)
Put all ingredients (except for the water) in a large bowl mix well to a batter. add boiling water and mix till smooth bake in the over at 160 for 1hr. you can split the mix and make two smaller cakes or make 1 smaller cake and put the rest into muffin tins the choice is completely up to you. this is an excellent cake if you have a large family or just want to impress people. gets moister by the day so stays nice and fresh very simular to mud cake.
