Ingredients
Cream cheese 1 kg
Sugar 120 g
Whipping cream 500 ml
Eggs (L) 5 Units
Flour 15 g
Directions
1.Preheat the oven
Preheat the oven to 210ºC with top and bottom heat without fan (200ºC with fan) and prepare the tin with 2 sheets of baking paper overlapping each other. If your tin is shorter than 10cm, the paper should extend over the edge to form a wall. This cake is rustic, so if the paper gets wrinkled, it's okay.
2.Mix the ingredients
Using an electric mixer, mix the cream cheese and sugar in a bowl at low speed. Add the cream and beat until the mixture takes on a firm consistency. Add the eggs and beat again until combined. Finally, sift the flour into the bowl and fold it in with a spatula. If you use a manual mixer, keep in mind that you may need to wait a while when adding the cream.
3.Bake it
Pour the batter into the tin and bake in the middle of the oven for about 35 minutes. At the end add 5ish minutes more on grill mode to burn the top part, and remove from the oven. Expect the centre to move when you take the cake, it will settle as it cools.
4.Let it cool
Let it cool completely (as it cools, the cake will fall and that is to be expected) and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (doing it overnight is ideal).
