How to Make Philly Classic New York Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating until combined.
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract and lemon juice.
  4. Pour batter into prepared pan. Place pan in a larger roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the larger pan to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan (this creates a water bath).
  5. Bake for 90 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  6. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. This prevents cracking.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
