Hi Alyssa! It sounds like the butter and sugar aren't getting quite light and fluffy enough before the other ingredients are added in. That process can take over 5 minutes and it really does make a big difference in how much air your batter will have, resulting in a lighter texture. Moisture is a result of oil so that makes sense, but if it's both dense and dry when made with butter, there could be too much flour added to the batter. If not using a scale, we'd recommend measuring flour using the fluff, sprinkle, and scrape method shown here. We'd be happy to troubleshoot further at 855-371-BAKE (2253). Annabelle@KAF
