Ingredients
  

Batter Ingredients
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Provides sweetness and helps create a caramelized exterior.
  • 1 cup Light Brown Sugar Adds richness and a hint of molasses flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil Moistens the bread and contributes to its buttery flavor.
  • 2 large Eggs Act as a binder, adding richness and moisture; room temperature eggs mix better.
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Gives structure; measure correctly by spooning and leveling.
  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder Provides lift while maintaining a dense texture.
  • 1/2 tsp Salt Enhances flavor, balancing the sweetness.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Adds flavor depth and warmth.
  • 1 cup Chopped Pecans Use fresh pecans for optimal flavor; toasting is recommended.

Method
 

Directions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish thoroughly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, vegetable oil or melted butter, and eggs until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, measure and sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, folding them together gently to prevent overmixing.
  5. Carefully fold in the chopped pecans.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing.
