Shortening instead of oil in a carrot cake

[Miss Maggie]

I misread an old recipe and used 1 1/2 cups shortening instead of 1 1/2 cups of vegetable oil. I did not melt it - it is in the oven - can i expect it to be ok?

Keep an eye on your baking in the oven and be prepared for it to possibly take longer to cook. Once it's done, give it a taste test and see how it turned out.
