  6. Add 1 cup of sugar gradually, mixing until combined, then incorporate the eggs one by one.
  7. Mix in the sour cream, cocoa powder, brewed coffee, and vanilla extract until smooth and velvety.
  8. Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth out the top with a spatula.
  9. Bake for about 50-60 minutes, until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
  10. Turn off the oven and crack the door to let the cheesecake cool gradually.

Notes

For a stunning presentation, dust the top with powdered sugar or cocoa powder, and serve with whipped cream.
