Chantal's New York Cheesecake

I've tried numerous cheesecake recipes and for some reason The Husband really liked this one.  It doesn't have a strong "cheese" taste, in fact it's a bit denser like a cake.  I just like how simple it was to make. Supposedly this is the recipe from the famous Chantal's deli in New York. I personally thought 1.5 cups of sugar was a bit sweet and even thought I left it in the oven, the cake still cracked.  I think next time I'll try 1 cup of sugar and cook the cake in a water bath.

Chantal's New York Cheesecake
ingredients | crust

• 15 graham crackers, crushed
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

ingredients | cake

• 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
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

 directions

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9 inch springform pan.
2. In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press onto bottom of springform pan.
3. In a large bowl, mix cream cheese with sugar until smooth. 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.
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.
