Can I replace canola oil for coconut oil?

Thank you! I was trying to find a recipe without a ton of butter. I made it even healthier and substituted applesauce for the oil in the cake (not in the topping). For someone who asked about calories, I halved the recipe and it made 9 pieces in a 8×8 pan. Each piece is about 180 calories.
