4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, sour cream, and flour.
5. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the pan.

8. Bake for about 45-50 minutes or until the edges are set, and the center is slightly jiggly.
9. Turn off the oven, crack the oven door, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
