Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan and set it aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt for the cake base. Mix well.
Add softened butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and whole milk to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth and creamy. Do not overmix.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth out the surface with a spatula.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth using a hand or stand mixer.
Add sour cream, heavy cream, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time to the cheesecake mixture, mixing on low speed. Avoid overmixing to prevent cracking.
Carefully spoon the cheesecake mixture over the unbaked cake batter in the pan, ensuring an even layer.
Place the springform pan on a baking sheet to catch any potential drips and bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes or until the cheesecake layer is set but slightly jiggly in the center.
Turn off the oven and crack the oven door open. Let the cake cool gradually in the oven for 1 hour to prevent cracks.
Remove the cake from the oven and run a thin knife around the edges to loosen it from the pan. Allow it to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Before serving, remove the springform pan ring and garnish as desired (such as fresh berries, whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce). Slice and enjoy!
