          1. Walaikum Salam! Sorry for the late reply. Yes, you can use oil instead of butter and use caster sugar ( or finely ground sugar ). Also I would suggest a square pan as oil-based cake will be flatter. Check out this version with oil : Almond Cake Rusk

            Hope it turns out well. Let me know :)
