Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C).

Lightly oil an 8x8-inch baking pan and set aside.

In a small bowl, stir together the topping ingredients, and set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Place the ingredients for the faux sour cream in a blender and combine until smooth and creamy.
