Ingredients
  

For the Cheesecake Base
  • 16 ounces Full-Fat Cream Cheese Essential for that rich, velvety texture
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens and helps with caramelization
  • 3 large Eggs Provide necessary structure
  • 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour Helps set the cheesecake
  • 1 pinch Salt Elevates flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Adds aroma and enhances the overall flavor

Equipment

  • 9x5-inch loaf pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spatula

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Butter a 9x5 inch loaf pan thoroughly and line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, mixing well.
  3. Incorporate eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully blended before adding the next.
  4. Gently fold in flour and salt, mixing until just combined. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for about 45 minutes, until the top is a deep golden color.
  6. Remove from the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the pan for about 30 minutes.
  7. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for a minimum of 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  8. Lift the cheesecake from the loaf pan using the parchment overhang, slice, and serve chilled or at room temperature.
