Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.

Add the sugar and mix until well combined and fluffy.

Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.

Sift in the flour and salt, then gently fold until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan.

Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is deeply browned and the center is slightly jiggly.

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

Carefully remove the cheesecake from the pan and let it cool completely.

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving.

Serve at room temperature, allowing the flavors to develop. Enjoy!
