Mix in heavy cream and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

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

Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top.

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes until the top is deeply browned and the center is slightly jiggly.

Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour to cool gradually.

Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
