How to prepare it step by step?

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Mix the crushed graham crackers with the melted butter and press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the pie plate.
2. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar and continue beating until completely smooth.
3. Add the sour cream, eggs, lemon juice, lavender essence and flour. Beat gently until all the ingredients are integrated without introducing too much air.
4. Pour the cheese mixture over the cracker base in the prepared pan. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until you see the cake has set slightly in the center.
5. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan, on a rack, for a minimum of two hours before serving. Decorate as desired with icing sugar and dried lavender.
