Directions: |
Directions:Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix together graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter. Pat in bottom of spring form pan. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. (doesn't need to cool before adding filling).
Reduce heat to 325 degrees.
Filling:
Mix together until well blended cream cheese, flour, 1 cup sugar and vanilla.
Add sour cream and mix well.
Add eggs (4) one at a time, scraping sides of bowl to catch cream cheese lumps. Blend until creamy and no lumps are visible.
Pour mixture over crust in spring form pan. Drop pan a couple of times on counter slightly to remove any air bubbles.
Place in larger pan half filled with water for water bath. This should ensure cake cooks as evenly as possible through steaming. This step is optional but it is supposed to prevent cracking while cooling.
Bake at 325 for 1 hr and 5 minutes or until center is almost set. It should jiggle.
Cool completely before removing outer ring of spring form pan. Chill completely before cutting so cake filling has time to firm up well.
Top with your favorite fruit topping or sauce or just enjoy plain. |

Notes: it is very important to let cake cool until chilled. If cut while warm, it will be grainy and mushy.
Once cooled this cake is very dense and yummy. Grandma Ruth made these upon request, which we did often.
Cake is very rich and dense. You don't need a big piece to satisfy your cheesecake craving!!
