Prepare the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add in the granulated sugar and continue to beat until well combined. Add the sour cream, vanilla extract, and cornstarch, mixing until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just blended.

Combine and Bake
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the oven door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving.
