About Sour Cream
Stir gently if the contents have separated, then spoon into the measure and remove obvious pockets of air. Level the surface rather than shaking the cup to force it to settle.
Sour cream contributes acidity and moisture to cakes and quick breads. A substitution can alter the leavening balance as well as richness, so use the dairy product or tested alternative the recipe names.
