Preheat oven to 175°C / 350°F. Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter, and salt until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of a springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes and let cool.
Beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add sugar and mix until incorporated. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed. Mix in sour cream, heavy cream, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and flour until smooth.
Wrap the outside of the springform pan with aluminum foil. Place the pan in a large baking tray. Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust. Fill the tray with hot water halfway up the sides of the pan.
Bake at 160°C / 325°F for 55-65 minutes. The center should still have a slight jiggle.
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour. Cool at room temperature for another hour. Refrigerate 4-6 hours or overnight before serving.
Per slice (12 servings): Calories: (~430 kcal), Fat: (32 g), Carbohydrates: (28 g), Protein: (7 g). Whole cheesecake: (~5100 kcal).
