Can you use flour instead of cornstarch in cheesecake?
No. Cornstarch is a thickening agent as where flour is used to create some type of dough or batter and when it is baked the gluten allows it to expand and get nice and fluffy. Simply put, if you swapped flour for cornstarch, especially for a cheesecake, you would have a nasty mess and a very uneasy cheesecake. Hope that helps
What does flour do to a cheesecake?
When you add flour to a cheesecake recipe or see a recipe that calls for flour, the purpose is to adjust the texture and the way the cheesecake is baked. When there is flour or another starch present in a cheesecake it makes the texture denser and more cake-like. When there isn't a starch present in a cheesecake, this is the kind of recipe where usually it calls for a spring form pan, a water bath and lower temperature and this often will result in a smooth and creamy texture.

How can you make your cheesecake batter thicker?
Batter thickness is a result of mixing solids (flour, sugar) with liquids ( milk, eggs, cream cheese) to make the batter you can add more solids, or remove some liquids. You need to be careful when you do this because you can imbalance the recipe causing it to become too runny, where after baking it it won't hold its shape. Or you can make it too thick where the denseness of it becomes a bad texture in your mouth. Adjusting the ratio can also cause the flavor to be off in the finished product.

Why shouldn't you pack or shake down flour after spooning it into a measuring cup?
By packing or shaking the flour into the measuring cup, air is released from within the light and fluffy powder as it becomes denser in the measuring cup. As a result, you are inadvertantly adding more flour to your end product, which would change the inconsisency of the batter, dough, etc. Also something to think about: if the recipe calls for "sifted" flour, you are actually adding more air in addition to taking out clumps. If you don't sift the flour when the recipe calls for it, you are again adding more flour than called for.
