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

- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Sugar sprinkles (optional)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients to make a dough.
- Press the dough into a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10–12 minutes, and let it cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
- Mix in 1 cup of sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition.
- If desired, stir in the sour cream and 1 tablespoon of flour until creamy.
- Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top. Tap the pan gently to release any air bubbles.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and bake for 40–50 minutes until the cheesecake is set but slightly jiggly in the center.
- Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 3–4 hours or overnight.
- Once chilled, remove the cheesecake from the pan and garnish with whipped cream, sprinkles, and fresh berries if desired.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for easy blending. Press crust evenly and firmly, and cool completely before refrigerating.
