Measuring 350g of Sour Cream in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of sour cream weighs 230g when measured spooned & leveled, 350 Grams (350g) translates to 1.52 US cups (1 ½ cups + 1 tsp). By contrast, using the light sour cream measure (235g/cup — a 5g per-cup shift), 350g occupies 1 ½ cups (1.49 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 1 ½ cups + 1 tsp (24.35 tablespoons total) using spooned & leveled technique. Scoop into a dry measuring cup, pressing lightly with the back of a spoon to eliminate trapped air pockets, and sweep level.
