A cheesecake top without a crack seems to be the ultimate measure of success. It shouldn’t be. A crack doesn’t affect the taste. Many cheesecakes are topped and the topping covers any cracks.
There may be a number of reasons for cracks:
• Too much air incorporated into the filling may cause cracks.
• Too much baking time will over bake the filling and is a common cause of cracks.
• Uneven baking may be a cause. If you are using light gauge, reflective pans, consider switching to heavier gauge, dark pans.
• Too high of heat may cause cracking. Consider baking at 325 degrees instead of at 350 degrees.
• It your cheesecake cools too rapidly, it may develop cracks. Don’t let your cheesecake cool in a draft.

Too long of baking time or too high of baking temperature are the most common causes of cracks in cheesecake. I love plain cheesecake so I want mine perfect!

It is because the oven needs moisture. That is why you need to put a pan of water underneath your cheesecake while it is baking.

it probably dries out. Just cover up the imperfections with something sweet and forget about it. No one needs to know about them.

It sounds like either it has dried out some or it wasn't completely mixed together and the ingredients separated.

That sometimes happens when you over cook it and believe me, that's easy to do.
