Also, make sure you don't over beat the batter once you put the eggs in... just stir the eggs in... that's what makes the cake crack, is the air that goes into the batter from the beating while you beat it with the eggs. Just some hints... hope they help. @Lea – next time… try steam baking the cheesecake… and then leaving it in the oven for an hour with the oven off when it is done to let it cool more slowly.

I wonder what went wrong. Is there a chance your oven was a little too hot? Just wondering since I had good luck with it and it has good reviews on Kraft. I noticed Kraft has a note on theirs saying if you use a dark springform pan you should bake at 300. Was your pan black, by chance? Lea, that’s too bad! I wonder what went wrong.

It cracked up (deep cracks) much more than any other cheesecake I've ever made and I've been making cheesecakes for a long time. With all of the eggs and yolks this seems a lot like custard. I'm sure it will taste good, but any topping with seep into the cheesecake and those cracks are going to be hard to hide.
