- Preheat oven to 400°F.

- Mix in heavy cream and vanilla until combined.
- Add flour and salt, beating just until incorporated.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and tap firmly on counter a few times to release air bubbles.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes until top is deeply browned and cracked, but center still jiggles when pan is shaken.

- Remove from pan, peel away parchment, and slice with a hot knife.
