Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, ensuring it hangs over the edges.
Beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Incorporate the eggs, one at a time, blending thoroughly after each addition.
Mix in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt until silky smooth.
Sift in the flour and gently fold it into the batter until just combined.
Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared loaf pan and tap gently to release air bubbles.
Bake for 40–45 minutes until golden on top and the center is jiggly.
Allow to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
