Sometimes recipes call for sour cream and baking soda, for example in chocolate cakes.
This is because the baking soda reacts with the acid elements in the sour cream and enhances a bit the flavour of the cacao thus helping it to gain a darker color.
If you don’t have sour cream or baking soda available, you can substitute these ingredients by ½ tspn of sodium bicarbonate (active principle of baking soda) and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or any other acid you have available.
Cheers!.
