Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups pecans, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 4 large eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Dish Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- Step 2: Combine Wet Ingredients and Sugars In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, beaten eggs, vegetable oil, and buttermilk until smooth.
- Step 3: Add Flour and Salt Gradually incorporate the self-rising flour and salt into the wet mixture, stirring just until everything is combined without overmixing.
- Step 4: Add Flavor and Nuts Stir in the vanilla extract. Gently fold in the finely chopped pecans to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
- Step 5: Bake Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. The pecanbread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Step 6: Cooling Allow the pecan delight to cool in the dish for about 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
