I normally make a fail safe banana yoghurt cake, but ive seen another recipe using yoghurt instead. What will be the difference with using yoghurt! :)

linster, I have a really nice carrot cake that uses sour cream and I have been wondering if I could use the citrus yoghurt that I have fallen in love with instead of the sour cream!Have seen recipes where you can use either, but until now haven't been keen to try altering a really great recipe.

I have substituted yoghurt for sour cream in cake recipes many times and they turned out OK.I usually use plain yoghurt. I always use yoghurt in a coconut cake recipe which asks for 300g sour cream and I can't tell any difference with the finished cake, still tastes as Yummy. Cookiebarrel, give it a go, it should be OK.

I had a chocolate cake that had yoghurt in it - will see if I can find it - and the chocolate zucchini cake I made at the weekend (delicious by the way) has 1/4 cup of plain yoghurt.
