Which oils are considered flavorless? The cake recipe is calling for a vegetable oil. I have refined sunflower oil, and refined soyabean oil.

Do they qualify for flavourless oils? I haven't noticed any taste in any oil by now! Taste buds problem, perhaps.
Both refined sunflower oil and refined soybean oil are generally considered flavorless.

Also included among these are:


Canola (rapeseed) oil
Corn oil
Peanut oil
Safflower oil
Vegetable oil


The most reliable method of course is to taste the oil :). I'm sure you can actually taste the flavor of extra virgin olive oil.
