Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and butter a 9x5 inch loaf pan, lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Beat 16 ounces of full-fat cream cheese until smooth, then add granulated sugar and mix until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  3. Fold in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Stir in vanilla extract if desired.
  4. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for about 45 minutes or until the top is golden and the center is jiggly.
  5. Cool for 30 minutes at room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
  6. Lift the cheesecake out of the pan using the parchment, slice, and serve garnished with fresh berries or caramel sauce.
