Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (16 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Optional: a pinch of salt for enhanced flavor

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and sugar. Beat until smooth using an electric mixer.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
  4. Pour in heavy cream, vanilla extract, and flour; mix until well combined and smooth.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes until the top turns deep amber and slightly caramelized.

  8. Slice and serve with fresh berries, whipped cream, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for a silky batter.
  • Avoid overmixing after adding flour to prevent a dense texture.
  • For extra caramelization, brush the top with sugar or honey before baking.
