You might try the "Smart Balance" product that is sold alongside the
shorting at the supermarket. I comes in a green can but isn't "Crisco." I
have used it for baking and it works well - even for pie pastry.

Also, you might try using oil in your favorite cake recipe. As I recall,
oil has about 20% more shortening ability than butter, so you might have to
reduce the amount of oil a bit when making the substitution. I often use
Canola oil when making bread when the recipe calls for butter.

Here is a like to the Crisco page that has a yellow cake recipe with oil:
