US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 200C.
Line your baking pan with parchment paper. Make sure the paper comes at least 2" above the sides of the pan.
In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and sugar, until the cream cheese is creamy and sugar is dissolved.
Add the eggs, one at a time. Make sure each egg is incorporated well before adding the next one.
Whisk in the cream, all purpose flour and vanilla extract, until smooth.
This is a thin batter.
Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 50-55 minutes, until the cake is browned on top, but still jiggly in the center.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 30-40 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator for it to set completely, for about 8-10 hours.
Gently remove the cake from the pan and peel the parchment paper away from the cake. Serve cold or at room temperature. Enjoy!
