Cream is more dense than milk because it has a higher fat content. The fat molecules in cream are larger and heavier, causing them to take up more space and create a denser substance compared to milk. This is why cream floats on top of milk when left undisturbed.

The density changes due to differences in the density between cream and milk. Cream is lighter than water and milk is heavier than water.

When the cream is removed, the density of the milk goes up to about 1.036g per liter, while the density of the cream is about 0.968g per liter.

Can you substitute heavy cream for milk in cornbread?

Heavy cream could be used for milk in cornbread, but the baked cornbread might be heavy and too dense, because of the high fat content of heavy cream. It would be better to thin the heavy cream with water to bring it closer to the consistency of milk before using it in cornbread.
