## Ingredients

- 300 g [cream cheese](https://fridge.menu/en/i/cream-cheese)
- 80 g [caster sugar](https://fridge.menu/en/i/sugar)
- 2 pcs [eggs](https://fridge.menu/en/i/eggs)
- 120 ml [double cream](https://fridge.menu/en/i/heavy-cream)
- 1 tbsp [plain flour](https://fridge.menu/en/i/flour)
- 1 tsp [vanilla extract](https://fridge.menu/en/i/vanilla-extract) — to taste

## Steps

1. Beat the cream cheese with the caster sugar, then add the eggs one at a time, followed by the double cream, plain flour and vanilla extract.
2. Pour the mixture into a tin lined with baking parchment.
3. Place the tin in the oven at 200°C for 30–35 minutes, until the top is dark and the centre still wobbles slightly. (35 min)
4. Remove the tin from the oven.
5. Let it cool in the tin.

## What was changed

vanilla extract was swapped in, as vanillin is not something British shoppers would find on the shelf.
