– In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
– Gradually add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
– Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
– Finally, fold in the sour cream until smooth.
3. Prepare the Coffee Cake Topping:

4. Assemble the Cheesecake:
