Directions
BTW, 3 pounds of cream cheese IS correct! That’s six 8 ounce packages of cream cheese!
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 well-buttered 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.
