Can you use cottage cheese instead of sour cream in a cake?

My Answer: Well it depends on what you are making. I wouldn't make cottage cheese the main ingredient. It would probably taste bad if you put in an ingredient that wasn't on the list. I would probably prefer cream cheese since it is on the ingredient list. Go out and buy some if you don't have any. Don't subsitute any like other ingredient. Trust me, it will taste very bad. If you subsitute any other ingredient then it wouldn't taste of what you wanted to taste. I am a culinary professional so I know what you need for your answer. If you want to become a professional cook you have to practice to put in the right ingredients. Thank you.

Is cottage cheese the same as processed cheese?

Not, I think, in the sense you mean. Cheese, all cheese, is processed to an extent. Cream cheese, similar to Farmer's cheese, is less processed than other soft or hard cheeses. The hardness of a cheese is dependent mainly on how 'hard' it was compressed in a cheese press, to remove the moisture. Some cheeses, like mozzarella, are processed differently and aren't pressed to remove moisture.

Farmer's cheese and cream cheese are pressed only enough to form into shape, retaining much of their moisture. Cottage cheese is unpressed, merely separated curds and a little whey (the liquid left from making cheese).

American cheese or more correctly 'processed cheese food', isn't cheese at all in the true sense of the word, it is a mixture of vegetable oils and milk solids processed to produce a cheese product similar to a soft cheddar.

So, no, cream cheese is cheese, not a processed cheese product, in this sense.
