Answer to Question 1

Shortening is expected to produce a higher-quality product than butter due to its plasticity and creaming ability. Butter does not have the same plasticity or creaming ability.

Answer to Question 2

Oil coats the flour particles and fails to entrap air. Therefore, oil does not permit creaming. A plastic fat is suitable for creaming and entraps air to enhance volume. Mono- and diglycerides in plastic fat also serve as an emulsifier to provide fine dispersion of fat and yield a soft, moist cake.
