Sour cream is cream cultured with lactic acid bacteria, giving it a thick, spoonable texture and a mild tang. One metric cup (250 ml) of sour cream weighs around 250 grams or 8.82 ounces. It is used in cakes and quick breads for tenderness, in dips and dressings for body and bite, and as a topping for baked potatoes and chilli.

Tubs of sour cream are sold by weight, but recipes ask for cups or tablespoons. Converting between the two stops you over-spooning into a delicate cake batter or short-measuring a dressing.
