I'm making a pound cake recipe that calls for 1 cup of sour cream. All I have one hand is LIGHT sour cream.

Will this substitution work, measure for measure?

Or should I add a bit of shortening or oil to the sour cream?

The cake recipe already calls for TWO sticks of butter, so I'm not crazy about adding additional fat if I don't need to do so.

Any suggestions are appreciated!
