Sorry if this has been asked before. I have searched the forums but there is so much in here I went through 8 pages with several pages of comments. My head hurts now.

Anyway. I am making a fruit punch cupcake but I want to add sour cream to it because it is so dry. What do I need to leave out or use less of? It only calls for 1 tsp of baking powder and 1/2 tsp baking soda. It also asks for 3/4 cup of milk. It just seems more like a biscuit than a cake.

Thanks for your help!
