Plain yoghurt (also spelt 'yogurt' in US recipes) is fermented milk with a mild tang and a soft, spoonable texture. One metric cup (250 ml) weighs around 258 grams or 9.1 ounces. It adds moisture and acidity to cakes, marinades, and quick breads, and works as an egg replacement (1/4 cup per egg) in tender bakes.

Yoghurt is sold in 150 g pots or 500 g tubs, but recipes call for cups or tablespoons. Converting between the two stops you over-pouring tangy liquid into a delicate batter.

Buttermilk is thinner and sharper than plain yoghurt. To use yoghurt in place of buttermilk, stir 2 to 3 tablespoons of milk into 1 cup of yoghurt to match the pourable texture; flavour stays close. See our Buttermilk converter.

Cream cheese is denser and richer than plain yoghurt (230 g vs 258 g per cup). Yoghurt won't hold a piped shape, so swap with care: it works in batters and dressings but not in stiff frostings or no-bake cheesecake fillings. See our Cream Cheese converter.

Greek yoghurt is strained, so it's thicker and slightly denser than plain yoghurt (260 g vs 258 g per cup) with a richer mouthfeel. Swap 1:1 in cakes and quick breads; for dressings or marinades you may want to thin Greek yoghurt with a splash of milk. See our Greek Yoghurt converter.

Sour cream is cultured cream with a higher fat content than plain yoghurt, so it tastes richer and feels thicker on the spoon. They are close in weight (250 g vs 258 g per cup), so swap 1:1 in cakes and dressings; sour cream gives a milder tang and a denser dip. See our Sour Cream converter.
