Step 1

Preheat oven to Spray a 10" springform pan with PAM. Wrap the bottom and up the sides of the outside of the pan with a square of aluminum foil, to protect against any leaks. Make sure your springform pan is properly aligned and that it tightly seals when you snap the ring shut!NOTE: If you want to use a 9" springform pan to get a thicker piece of cake, you will have to bake the cake at least 10 minutes longer. Watch it closely, and use a cake tester to test for doneness.

Step 2

For the crust, sift together flour, baking powder, and sugar.

Step 3

Slightly beat the egg.

Step 4

Mix together add melted butter and egg to the flour. Stir until combined.

Step 5

Press the mixture along the bottom and slightly up the sides of the prepared pan.

Step 6

For the cheesecake, place the cream cheese, flour, 2 eggs, sugar, and milk into a blender. Process on high for 3 minutes. No, there is no vanilla in this recipe! Really & truly!

Step 7

Pour into the prepared crust.

Step 8

Bake for 55 - 60 minutes (longer, if you use a 9" springform pan). Cool and remove from the springform pan.

Step 9

Serve with fruit topping, if desired.
