Wasc W/ Fat Free Sour Cream: Will This Work?
Decorating By Monica_ Updated 5 Apr 2007 , 6:10pm by jenbenjr
Hey guys, just wondering if anybody had ever used fat free sour cream in doctoring cake mixes before. While I can always just buy the regular stuff if it won't work, I do already have a tub of fat free sour cream sitting in my fridge and would like to use it up if that's a possibility. Since I know that fat contents and consistancy can do wierd things to a cake though, I thought I'd check in to see if anybody had already test that out.
Thanks for any help!
I haven't attempted ff sour cream, but I have used ff yogurt with the extender recipe for cake mixes. I was able to notice a slight difference in the consistency, but none of my other family members noticed anything off. I say give it a try, what can it hurt to experiment, right? And if worse comes to worse, you can always make cake balls out of it! lol Good luck!
I used it in that exact recipe by accident one time and no one was the wiser! So if I can cut fat or calories with out anyone noticing I do!
I just made it recently with light sour cream because it's what I had. I thought it was a bit drier, but still yummy.
I just made cupcakes with the fat free sour cream and I substituted applesauce for the oil. They are still very good!!! Nobody guessed it was a low fat recipe!
