Substitue For Sour Cream?
Decorating By blueberrycheesecake Updated 21 Mar 2009 , 10:10pm by blueberrycheesecake
It's me again! Sorry..
But people here have always been full so I end up thinking og CC the whole time a question enters my mind.
Uhmm.. so is there a substitute for sour cream? Maybe something I could whip up myself?
Thanks! Please help!
P.S. what does sour cream do to cakes?
Several possibilities:
---- long way ----
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup creamed cottage cheese
Combine ingredients in blender; cover and process until smooth and creamy.
---- fast ----
mix ¾ cup of sour milk or buttermilk plus 1/3-cup butter in a small bowl. Use a whisk or fork to mix it together.
---- another fast ----
1 cup of cream and 1/3cup of lemon juice - mix together
You can find sour cream in cakes when the cake uses baking soda instead of baking powder.
Depending on your recipe, you could probably simply substitute it with buttermilk.
For cakes, an easy substitution is cream and lemon juice.
What i use in place of sour cream in most of my cakes is yogurt. I like this becuase you can get a flavor that corrisponds with your cake to help the flavor.

and sometimes, if its a chocolate cake, Ive subbed out mayo thinned down with a titch of water added.

I once heard Martha Stewart say that sour cream makes cakes very tender.
She was making high hat cupcakes when she said it. I love these.

The trick is not so much matching the texture or creaminess as it is matching the acidity of a substitution. That's what makes the magic happen with the chemistry needed to make things react to each other and rise. Remember, baking is a science.
That being said, I've used the following pretty much interchangeably:
1 cup buttermilk
1 Tbsp lemon juice plus enough milk to make a cup.
1 cup yogurt
1 cup sour cream

oh thank you for the replies... but may i ask? is buttermilk supposed to be a powder or liquid?
i saw buttermilk in the cake supply store where i buy my ingredients but it is in powdered form. so i am not sure if it is in powder and I have to mix it with water or buttermilk is supposed to be in liquid form?

is buttermilk supposed to be in powdered form or in liquid form? we have one here but it is in powdered form. do i have to mix water with it? thanks for the suggestion! 
I found it for you - I hope:
the ratio is 1/3 cup powder to one cup water
It isn't necessary to mix the buttermilk back to liquid - simply add both ingredients to your cake and mix well.
