Steps to Make Cheese Cake

1. Melt the butter in a small bowl over slow heat.

3. Take another vessel and mix the finely ground sugar with cream cheese till the sugar completely dissolves. Once the sugar have been added, put the sour cream and the vanilla extract into the mixture and mix the ingredients.

4. We now take the eggs and one by one, add the them to the mix. Ensure that you mix the first egg completely before pouring in the next one. Stir it properly so that all the ingredients blend completely with each other.

5. At this point, add the sifted flour to the mix. Ensure that you mix as much flour to the mix as it can accommodate at this point. Then gently add the milk or cream to the cake mixture. Ensure that you add only as much milk as will dissolve any remaining sugar and other ingredients and provides a smooth think consistency to the entire mix.

6. Preheat the oven to 175 deg centigrade (350 deg Fahrenheit) for about 10 minutes.
