No?

Well Actually you can. I never use oil in my cakes always sour cream. If you do not wish to make a scratch cake try looking up the WASC recipe and use any flavor.

Happy Caking

Yes, but it is not going to have as much liquid in it and will add fat to the mix. If you used the same amount of sour cream as the amount of water called for, the finished cake might be slightly heavier and not raise as much. Half to possibly two thirds sour cream and the rest water should work.

Yes, many Italian cakes call for olive oil. The best type would be plain olive oil, not extra virgin because it will have a milder taste.
