Very good recipe. Nice and creamy, easy to do, but I mixed on to high of a speed and mine cracked. I would make this recipe again.

To keep cracking down to a minimum : mix until the eggs are incorporated and no more. Leave the oven door opened a crack (use a wooden spoon to keep it opened) when time is up and leave it until totally cooled. It could take up to 8-10 hours but don't touch it!! Don't loosen the rim. Leave it alone!!

This is a very easy and creamy recipe, but last time I cooked it I blended it on too high of a speed and it cracked, going to make it again tonight. Still tastes amazing though, thank you for the awesome recipe!

I also beat the ingredients at high speed and forgot not to do that, but, mine did not crack this time. Only thing I did different was lower the temperature cooking to 300°F, and added 1/4 tsp. Lemon Extract and used by mistake self-rising flour. It came out perfect this time. It tastes great!

AWESOME! Fantastic. No cracks. I put a pan of water under cheesecake while in oven to avoid cracks.

Fantastic cheesecake recipe! Using a water bath does help it moisten and keep from cracking, and a good amount of lemon zest adds some tang, but otherwise this is definitely the best cheesecake recipe I've had/made :)
