Could you use soured whipping in this or would it have to be commercial sour cream? I have some whipping cream that has soured that I would love to use,.

This banana bread turned out really good. As seems to be usual for me, I got started on the recipe and realized I didn't have any sour cream. I substituted 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt and it worked out very well.

I was impressed by how much it rose and got fluffy when it was cooking. Yummy!!
