How to Make Polish 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 and sugar until smooth and creamy.
  3. Beat in sour cream and vanilla extract.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Stir in raisins or other dried fruit, if desired.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared springform pan.
  9. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges and the center is just slightly jiggly.
  10. Let cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  11. Once chilled, carefully release the cheesecake from the springform pan.
  12. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
