Ingredients

2 cups graham cracker crumbs

3/4 cup butter, melted

1/4 cup white sugar

4 (8 oz) packages cream cheese

1 1/2 cups white sugar

3/4 cup milk

4 eggs

1 cup sour cream

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and 1/4 cup of sugar. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan.

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Mix in 1 1/2 cups of sugar, slowly blend in milk, and then mix in the eggs one at a time, mixing just enough to incorporate. Mix in sour cream, vanilla and flour until smooth. Pour filling into prepared crust.

Step 4

Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. Turn the oven off, and let cake cool in oven with the door closed for 5 to 6 hours; this prevents cracking. Chill in refrigerator until serving.
