How to Substitute Sour Cream for Oil (4 Steps)
Replacing the oil in your recipe with another ingredient, such as sour cream, will change the final texture. Baked goods such as cakes and cookies become more cake-like rather than crispy. This is desirable when preparing light and airy desserts such as cakes and quick breads. Yogurt and sour cream are interchangeable in recipes, according to Chow.com and North Dakota State University's Agricultural Extension. Since yogurt can replace the oil in baked recipes, so can sour cream.
