🥣 Instructions:

1. Prep Oven & Pan
   • Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).
   • Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, letting it overhang for easy lifting.
2. Make the Batter
   • Beat cream cheese until smooth.
   • Add sugar and mix until fluffy.
   • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well.
   • Stir in cream, vanilla, salt, and flour until just combined.
3. Bake
   • Pour batter into the lined pan.
   • Bake for 35–40 minutes until deeply browned on top and slightly jiggly in the center.
4. Cool & Serve
   • Let cool in the pan.
   • Chill for a few hours or overnight for best texture.
   • Slice and enjoy straight from the fridge or at room temp.

🍮 Tips:

• Want it extra gooey? Pull it at 35 minutes.
• For a caramelized top, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end.
• Add a splash of espresso or orange zest for a twist.
