Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, allowing the edges to hang over for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sugar, mixing until well combined.
Add the heavy cream, eggs, vanilla extract, flour, and salt to the cream cheese mixture. Beat on medium speed until the batter is smooth and well incorporated, about 2-3 minutes.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is deeply browned and the center is slightly jiggly.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then, carefully lift it out using the parchment paper and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before slicing and serving.
