King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart (“Sour cream”): 227 g per cup. Chart
This page uses 230 g (USDA). The two sources differ by 3 g (1.3%): that gap is about how firmly the cup is filled, not an error in either.
Sour cream weighs 230 g a cup in USDA's data and 227 g by King Arthur. Spoon it in and smooth the top; don't leave air pockets.
How to measure sour cream by the cup
Press it firmly into a dry measuring cup with the back of a spoon, then level the top. It should hold the cup's shape when turned out.
In the UK and Australia: soured cream. Metric cups there hold 250 ml, so a metric cup of sour cream weighs about 243 g.
