WOW! What an incredible cheesecake! I've only made two cheesecakes in my LIFE, and this was the best I've ever tasted. The only thing I will do differently next time is let it bake for another maybe 5 minutes; the middle was still a bit on the runny side with only 60 minutes. I wrapped the well-greased springform pan twice in tin foil, and then placed it in 1 inch of HOT water before putting it in the oven. Then, after it was finished baking, I took a greased knife and ran it between the pan and the edge of the cake. Lastly, I closed the oven door and turned it off, and let the cheesecake sit in the oven in the water bath for about 3 or 4 hours, cooling. I can't believe how great those tips were! The texture was perfect, there were absolutely NO cracks, and it was a beautiful golden brown. Oh, I also made sure that I didn't overmix the batter. I only mixed it just enough to incorporate the ingredients. I think it's easier not to overmix if you mix by hand, not with a mixer. This is definitely something I'll be making again! Thank you for posting!
