Ingredients

• 500 grams Cream cheese
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 120 grams Sour cream
• 50 grams Unsalted butter
• 3 large Eggs
• 20 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan with a light coating of butter.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and granulated sugar. Beat with an electric mixer at medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the sour cream and melted butter to the cream cheese mixture, and mix until fully incorporated.

Step 4

Crack the eggs into the bowl one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition to ensure they are well mixed.

Step 5

Sift the flour into the batter and add the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and salt. Mix gently until the ingredients are fully combined and the batter is smooth.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan. Smooth the surface with a spatula to ensure an even top.

Step 7

Place the pan onto a baking sheet to catch any potential spills. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the cheesecake is set but slightly jiggly in the center.

Step 8

Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to cool gradually. This helps prevent cracking.

Step 9

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and run a knife around the edge to loosen it from the pan. Allow it to cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 10

Before serving, run a knife under warm water, dry it, and use it to slice clean portions. Enjoy the cheesecake as is, or garnish with fresh berries or a light dusting of powdered sugar.
