Sour Cream Conversion: Cups to Grams

Sour cream is fermented cream with a tangy flavour and thick, creamy texture. In baking, it adds moisture, richness, and a slight tang that balances sweetness. Its acidity activates baking soda and tenderises gluten. It is also used as a topping and in dips, dressings, and sauces.
