Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cream softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in egg and vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Press into a 9-inch springform pan and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden. Cool slightly.
- Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar and vanilla, then eggs one at a time. If using, fold in sour cream and flour until creamy.
- Pour cheesecake filling over cooled crust and smooth the top. Tap the pan to release air bubbles.
- Lower oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and bake for 40-50 minutes until edges are set, with a slightly jiggly center.
- Cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours or overnight.
- Remove cheesecake from pan and top with whipped cream, sugar sprinkles, and fresh berries before serving.

Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling. Avoid overmixing to prevent cracks in the cheesecake. Cool completely before refrigerating.
