New York Style Cheesecake

One of my all-time favorite TV shows is Friends. They stayed on the air for ten years and I never get tire of it.
Remember episode where Rachel and Chandler stop and eat all the stolen from their neighbor’s mail-order cheesecakes ?
This is exactly as I always imagined those would taste, something which makes us want to stop everything, help ourselves to another generously portioned slice, and just moan in bliss. I served it with a blackberry sauce, but honestly, this needs no accompaniment and I think it is even better plain. The texture is absolutely perfect – creamy, thick, smooth and it slices beautifully. And more as you may have noticed there is No CRACKS….Yeah!

Ingredients

• 6 eggs,room temperature
• 8 tablespoons (one stick) unsalted butter,room temperature
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 2 cups sour cream,room temperature
• 4 8-ounce packages cream cheese,room temperature
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 300°F.
2. Generously butter the inside of a 10-inch springform pan.
3. Cut two large pieces of foil and lay them on your work surface in a cross.
4. Set the springform pan in the middle and fold the edges of the foil up around the sides of the pan.
5. The foil gives you extra protection against water getting into the pan during the water bath step.
6. In a large mixer-bowl or bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until it is smooth and there are no lumps.
