Whip the cream cheese with an electric mixer. When soft and fluffy, add the sugar and whisk again. Add a pinch of salt and the vanilla and beat once more. Add the eggs one at a time. Drain the sultanas and stir them into the mixture. Pour into the lined cake tin and place on a baking sheet.
Bake for 1 hour 45 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes or until set but with a slight wobble in the middle. Run a round-bladed knife around the inside of the tin. Leave to cool completely, cover with cling film and place in the fridge overnight before un-moulding. Dust with icing sugar to serve. It will keep for up to 3 days, covered in the fridge.
