I think you could make that substitution, just give the milk/lemon mixture a little time to sour. Also, the same weight of milk to sour cream will be a little thinner, so allow for that.Katyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04837602358691420117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6286667600529626603.post-12736046749025078332010-03-25T16:43:29.276-07:002010-03-25T16:43:29.276-07:00This cake sound wonderfull.

But when I sift and measure (swept toped the cup of couse) the flour weights nearly 300 grs. But my old cake bible says 2 cups is 200 grs.<br />what shall I do? Two cups or 200 gr? since you have already sucessfully baked it can you help me on this. <br /><br />I have another question if you do not have sour cream but cream and milk and lemon can you substitude with half cream and half milk and a teaspoon lemon juice?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06671665791542248070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6286667600529626603.post-80950675999921519892010-03-16T08:55:06.960-07:002010-03-16T08:55:06.960-07:00What a wonderful arrangement!

Never know what kind of yumminess to expect :o)<br /><br />Btw, those cookies to the left of the cake, with the jam in the middle, remind me of my childhood fav cookie back in Europe. What's your name for them? I would love to have the recipe for that... :o)Hanaâhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660317268731033542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6286667600529626603.post-70122944178058187322010-03-15T12:14:44.290-07:002010-03-15T12:14:44.290-07:00Your cake does indeed look very lovely in the bake...Your cake does indeed look very lovely in the bakery case next to those yummy looking butter cookies.

If any of them really take off, they may be added to the bakery's regular rotation.<br /><br />So, in point of fact, I don't sell the cake, the bakery does, and because I bake at their facility using their ingredients (on the understanding that I bring any specialty ingredients), I receive only a small percentage of of the sales amount, and would in fact be happy enough to receive nothing in return for the privilege of using the professional kitchen and ingredients, and having the chance to test my product on such a wide audience.Katyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04837602358691420117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6286667600529626603.post-1138467747982165712010-03-15T09:42:25.690-07:002010-03-15T09:42:25.690-07:00Katya, welcome to the forum.
