You Will Need (7 things)

  • Springform Pan
  • 3 tbsp Flour
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Sour Cream
  • 3 Jumbo Egg(s)
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 4 (8oz packages) Cream Cheese

Steps (5 steps, 420 minutes)

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 325; Butter your springform pan, you can use spray or use the old paper towel and butter trick!

  2. 2

    In a large bowl mix cream cheese (let them sit for a few minutes; mixing cold hard cream cheese = no fun; Cut into pieces)and sugar until smooth.

  3. 3

    Blend in eggs one at a time and try not to over beat (the key to a great cheesecake; switch to rubber spatula or spoon if you are unsure).

  4. 4

    Add sour cream, vanilla extract and flour (In that order)

  5. 5

    Bake for 1 hour, I can not stress this enough, and LEAVE IT ALONE! The magic will happen! After time is up, turn off the oven and leave it in there for about 2 hours (this will help not to crack your cheesecake but if it does no worries just flip it over and it's still pretty) Then place in fridge for 4 - 6 hours. If you can wait that long, I love fresh slightly cooled cheesecake.
