Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
Sugars:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
Nuts and Flavoring:
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and thoroughly coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, light brown sugar, eggs, and vegetable oil until the mixture becomes silky and well-blended.
- Gradually incorporate self-rising flour into the wet ingredients, stirring gently to prevent overmixing and maintain a smooth consistency.
- Enhance the batter’s flavor profile by introducing vanilla extract, stirring until completely integrated.
- Carefully fold chopped pecans throughout the batter, ensuring an even distribution of nutty texture.
- Transfer the prepared batter into the greased baking dish, using a spatula to spread it uniformly and create an even surface.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, monitoring until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean and dry.
- After removing from the oven, allow the bread to rest and cool within the pan for approximately 15 minutes, enabling it to set and stabilize.
- Slice into square portions and serve either warm or at room temperature, showcasing the bread’s rich, nutty characteristics.
Notes
- Toast pecans before adding to enhance their nutty flavor and provide a deeper, richer taste profile.
- Swap vegetable oil with melted butter for a more luxurious and traditional baking texture.
- Create a gluten-free version by using a gluten-free self-rising flour blend, ensuring the same tender crumb.
- Reduce sugar content by 25% if you prefer a less sweet dessert, maintaining the bread’s delightful moistness.
