Ingredients
2 cups finely chopped pecans
1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
1 cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1-In a large bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, beaten eggs, and vegetable oil until they’re all nicely combined think of it as your batter’s cozy foundation.
2-Next, add the self-rising flour (or that handy substitute) and the salt, stirring just until everything comes together without overmixing, which keeps the bread tender and light.
3-Stir in the vanilla extract for that extra flavor pop, then gently fold in the chopped pecans to add that wonderful nutty crunch.
4-Pour the batter into your prepared dish and smooth the top so it bakes evenly it’s like tucking in a blanket for the oven.
5-Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick poked in the center shows a few moist crumbs; that’s your sign it’s done just right.
6-Let it cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing, giving it time to set up perfectly.
