Recipe - Penn-Dutch Traditional Cheesecake

3 pound Cream cheese; softened
1 One half cup Granulated sugar
6 Eggs
1 cup Sour cream
1 One half teaspoon Vanilla extract
1 One half teaspoon Powdered sugar

How simple can a cheesecake be? This cake is simple and delicious, easy to
make and great to eat. Be prepared for lots of praise when you serve this
one! BTW, 3 pounds of cream cheese *IS* correct! That's six
8 ounce packages of cream cheese! Me ke aloha, Mary Use a 10 inch
springform pan. In a large bowl beat the cream cheese and sugar until
smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add
the sour cream and vanilla and continue to beat until smooth. Pour into a
wellbuttered springform pan. Place the pan inside of a larger pan
containing 1 inch of water and bake in a preheated 400 degree F oven for 1
hour. Transfer the cake to a wire rack and allow to cool for 3 hours.
Remove the sides of the springform pan and refrigerate the cake overnight.
Remove the cheesecake from the refrigerator 1 hour before serving. Sprinkle
the top of the cake with the powdered sugar shortly before serving. Source:
