今天，让我们一起来分享烘焙 “酸奶蛋糕”。。。

Sour cream is a dairy product rich in fats obtained by fermenting a regular cream by certain kinds of lactic acid bacteria.^[1] The bacterial culture, which is introduced either deliberately or naturally, sours and thickens the cream. Its name stems from the production of lactic acid by bacterial fermentation, which is called souring. The taste of sour cream is only mildly sour.
Sour cream, made out of cream, contains from 18 to 20 percent butterfat–about 22 grams per 4 fluid ounce serving–and gets its characteristic tang from the lactic acid created by the bacteria. Commercially produced sour cream often contains additional thickening agents such as gelatin, rennet, guar and carrageen, as well as acids to artificially sour the product.

Sour cream is used primarily in the cuisines of Europe and North America, often as a condiment. It is a traditional topping for baked potatoes, added cold along with chopped fresh chives. It is used as the base for some creamy salad dressings and can also be used in baking, added to the mix for cakes, cookies, American-style biscuits, doughnuts and scones. It can be eaten as a dessert, with fruits or berries and sugar topping. Also, it is perfect on top of waffles in addition to strawberry jam. In Central America, crema (a variation of sour cream) is a staple ingredient of a full breakfast.
Sour cream can also provide the base for various forms of dip used for dipping potato chips or crackers, such as onion dip.

酸奶油是一种富有脂肪的奶制品。它由奶油和一些乳酸菌发酵而成。它因为发酵的乳酸菌和它酸的味道，所以命名为酸奶油（Sour cream)
