Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • Whipped cream (optional)
  • Sugar sprinkles (optional)
  • Fresh berries (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Combine the wet and dry ingredients to form a dough.
  6. Press the dough gently into a 9-inch springform pan.
  7. Bake the crust for 10–12 minutes, then cool slightly.
  8. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
  9. Mix in the sugar and vanilla extract.
  10. Beat in the eggs one at a time.
  11. If using, add the sour cream and flour, beating until creamy.
  12. Pour the filling over the crust and smooth the top. Tap the pan gently to remove any air bubbles.
  13. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and bake for 40–50 minutes until set but still slightly jiggly in the center. If the edges brown too quickly, cover them with foil.
  14. Let the cheesecake cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then chill it in the fridge for at least 3–4 hours or overnight.
  15. Once chilled, remove the cheesecake from the pan and garnish with whipped cream, sprinkles, and fresh berries if desired.

Notes

For the best texture, let the cheesecake chill overnight. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
