Sour cream.
Plain yogurt and sour cream are made the exact same way... by adding live cultures to milk and leaving them at room temp for several days. The only difference is the fat content. Full fat cream is used in sour cream. Low fat or skim milk is used to make yogurt. I myself, only use plain yogurt, and I love it. It tastes wonderful on baked potatoes and its guilt free so I slather it on heavy.

Fat-free sour cream can typically be found in the dairy section of most grocery stores, alongside regular sour cream and yogurt. Look for it in brands like Daisy, Breakstone, or store brands that offer low-fat or fat-free options. Additionally, health food stores and online grocery retailers often carry fat-free sour cream as well. Always check the label for nutritional information and ingredient quality.

No. 2 percent milk is much too thin and lacks the fat and consistency needed to substitute for sour cream in any recipe. Low-Fat Yogurt would be a better substitute for sour cream.
Yes, you can use natural yogurt instead of sour cream in a carrot cake recipe. Yogurt provides a similar tanginess and moisture that sour cream offers, which can enhance the cake's flavor and texture. Just ensure to use plain, unsweetened yogurt for the best results, and consider adjusting the liquid content slightly if needed.
Sour cream represents a fat component, so you can use butter, margarine, vegetable oil.
