Can i substitute yogurt instead of sour cream in a coffee cake recipe?

i always make a sour cream coffee cake when i have some extra sour cream (the recipe calls for 1 cup of sour cream). i have some plain yogurt which is getting ready to expire. can i substitute the yogurt for the sour cream. i use 1 tsp of baking soda in the recipe for leavening and i know that the soda reacts with the sour cream to make the cake rise. if yogurt is an acceptable substitute, would i have to adjust the soda, or would i use another type of leavening instead (exp. baking powder). thanks to any who answer. p.s. if you would like the original recipe, just send me an answer and i will email you the recipe. sukiCan i substitute yogurt instead of sour cream in a coffee cake recipe?
I think the leavening should be fine, I wouldn't adjust it. However, I would only use the yogurt if it is full-fat (whole milk) yogurt and not low fat. It still won't come close to the fat content of regular sour cream, however a super low fat or fat free yogurt will give you a chalky or rubbery cake.Can i substitute yogurt instead of sour cream in a coffee cake recipe?
Any substitution is going to alter the recipe. Changes in fat percentage of milk (skim instead of whole), splenda instead of sugar, etc. But this is a close enough of a sub that there will be little difference in taste, texture and rise.
You can definitely substitute plain yogurt for sour cream.

Sour cream- 1 cup- 1 cup plain yogurt OR 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar plus enough cream to make 1 cup OR 3/4 cup buttermilk mixed with 1/3 cup butter
No, for yougurt is completely different from sour cream, both in texture and flavor
Of course, I always substitute the sour cream with low-fat plain yogurt in this recipe.
Plain yogurt is a perfect substitute.
yes you can, thats what I do
Yogurt in coffee cake is bad. Throw away the yogurt and get some sour cream.
