  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 F.
  2. Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray, then line it with parchment paper, leaving some hanging out over the sides of the pan.
  3. Use a stand mixer or a hand mixer to beat together the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the eggs and beat together until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Mix in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt until combined.
