The purpose of sour cream in baking is to add creamy taste to the baked goods and also add and keep moisture in the baked goods.

Sour Cream is healthy in moderation.

Sour Cream is a healthy food in moderation but can be fattening and unhealthy when consumed in excess as sour cream is high in calories but low in carbs.

Many nutrients and vitamins are also found in sour cream as well as calcium so it's health in moderation.

Sour Cream is also great in baking as it adds moisture and creamy taste to the baked goods.

Sour cream helps keep and add moisture to the baked goods and adds a creamy taste to the baked goods.

Sour cream is used in baking things such as cakes to help add moisture to the cake or other baked goods.

The sour cream not only adds moisture to the baked goods such as the cake but also the sour cream helps keep the batter thick and makes the cake or other baked goods creamy.

Adding fat content which sour cream has helps make the cake or other baked goods creamier and richer in taste as well.

The sour cream also activates the baking soda in the baked goods and also controls the browning of the baked goods.

The sour cream is able to do all that because of the sour cream being high in fat content & acidity.
