  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

  3. Incorporate the large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream, optional vanilla extract, and salt until combined.
  5. Fold in the all-purpose flour gently to maintain airiness in the batter.
