For 1 cup of sour cream you can use 1 cup plain yogurt.

Cakes don't always have to have sour cream in it, you could add milk or even Orange juice. It might come out a little bit springy and a little dry but it will still taste good. If it comes out dry warm up some OJ and a littel sugar on the stove untill desolved then while still warm pour it over your cake. that way your cake will be moist and yummy

Try some plain yogurt. It has a little wang like the sour cream, and it will add the same texture and moisture the recipe needs. Good luck!

Reduced fat cream cheese
cream cheese for half the sour cream
place of the sour cream, or use a fat-free sour cream
Hope this helps

It really depends on what you have...you can use one egg, or
3/4 c. buttermilk
1 env. plain gelatin
1 c. cottage cheese
1/4 c. cold water
Soften gelatin in the water. Heat buttermilk and softened gelatin in top of a double boiler until gelatin is dissolved. Cool slightly, add cottage cheese and process all in a blender until smooth. Refrigerate.
or 1/4 c. non fat milk powder
1/2 c. cold water
8 oz. uncreamed cottage cheese
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1/4 tsp. salt
Mix together milk and water and blend well with cottage cheese. Mix in lemon juice and salt. Keep refrigerated until needed.

I just went down the line and checked the ones I thought would work..
Now depending on what flavor the cake it.. you could use smooth peanut butter and a couple tablespoons of brown sugar or pancake syrup. enjoy!

plain yogurt should work.
Or mayonnaise if you're really stuck....
Or even applesauce actually, the sour cream is probably in there to keep the cake moist.
