Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until evenly combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form an even crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until smooth and creamy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Add the sour cream and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, and mix until well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Be careful not to overmix, as this can incorporate too much air and cause cracking.
Sift the flour into the batter and gently fold it in until just incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure an even mixture.
Pour the cheesecake batter over the chilled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Place the springform pan on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly when shaken.
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the oven door cracked open for another hour to cool gradually. This helps prevent cracks from forming.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or ideally overnight to set completely.
Run a knife around the edges of the cheesecake before releasing the springform pan. Slice, serve, and enjoy your rich and creamy cheesecake!
