Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cream together unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually blend dry ingredients into the wet mixture to form a dough. Press dough into springform pan and bake for 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
- Beat cream cheese in a bowl until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar and vanilla extract. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in flour and sour cream until creamy.
- Pour the cream cheese filling over the cooled crust, smoothing the top. Tap the pan lightly on the countertop to remove air bubbles.
- Lower oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and bake for 40-50 minutes until edges are set but center is slightly jiggly. Cover edges with aluminum foil if browning too much.
- Cool gradually by cracking the oven door for about 30 minutes. Then chill in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours or overnight.
- Remove from the springform pan and garnish with whipped cream, sprinkles, and fresh berries before serving.

Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling. Avoid overmixing to prevent cracks.
