Preheat oven to 350 °F.

Do not bake second layer.

Filling -- increase oven temperature to 450 °F. Beat cream cheese until very fluffy and smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl often. Gradually add sugar while beating, scraping the sides of the pan often. Beat in flour. Add eggs 1 at a time, until egg is fully incorporated before adding the next egg. Beat in vanilla and ½ cup sour cream. Scrape batter onto crust base and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300 °F and bake for 30 minutes

Topping -- Stir sour cream, sugar and vanilla together until sugar dissolves. Remove cheesecake from oven carefully and spread topping over cheesecake, lightly to not tear the surface. Return to oven and bake 15 minutes. Cool cheesecake for 30 minutes, then run a spatula of knife gently around the edge of the cheesecake, to loosen and prevent from cracking. Cool cheesecake to room temp & chill overnight.

To serve, remove springform pan ring and slice with a hot, dry knife.
