Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
Beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add granulated sugar and a pinch of salt, then eggs one at a time, mixing until smooth.
Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated, then fold in the sifted flour.
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes until the top is golden brown.
Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes before refrigerating for at least 4 hours.
Lift cheesecake out using the parchment overhang, drizzle with caramel sauce, and slice to serve.
