My last 2 attempts at Sylvia Weinstock's yellow cake have been dry. I've made this recipe many times with no problems & can't figure it out.
What I think: I narrowed the problem down to the sour cream. I usually use Daisy brand which lists the ingredients as Grade A cultured cream 5g fat/serving. I recently used Swiss Farms brand - ingredients: cultured nonfat milk, cream, rennet, 6g fat/serving.
The Swiss Farms brand is not low-fat but could makeup of this one be messing up the recipe?
Yes. Not all sour creams are alike. I found this out the same way you did. I had to use a different brand thna my usual and did not like the results.
I love the Daisy sour cream too.
Sour cream is a moisture-adding ingredient to the cake. Are you adding egg whites? They're drying.
