Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 cups pecans, finely chopped
- 1 ½ cups self-rising flour
Sweeteners:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by warming it to 350F (175C) and coating a 9×13-inch baking dish with a thin layer of butter or nonstick spray to ensure easy removal.
- Create a smooth, unified base by whisking together granulated sugar, brown sugar, beaten eggs, and vegetable oil in a spacious mixing bowl until the mixture achieves a consistent texture.
- Gently fold the self-rising flour, salt, and ground cinnamon into the liquid ingredients, using delicate strokes to maintain the batter’s lightness and prevent potential toughness.
- Enhance the flavor profile by introducing vanilla extract, then carefully incorporate the finely chopped pecans, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Transfer the complete batter into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to spread it uniformly across the surface, ensuring an even bake.
- Position the dish in the preheated oven and monitor for 30-35 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick near the center – it should emerge with minimal, moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and allow the pecanbread to rest and stabilize within the baking dish for approximately 15 minutes, which helps set the structure and makes slicing easier.
- Cut into desired portions and serve either while still slightly warm or at ambient temperature, appreciating the rich, nutty cinnamon essence.
Notes
- Savor the Southern charm of this sweet, nutty bread that combines rich pecans with warm cinnamon for a truly indulgent treat.
- Perfect for breakfast, afternoon snack, or dessert, this pecanbread offers a delightful balance of textures with its moist interior and slightly crisp edges.
- Chopping pecans finely ensures even distribution and prevents large nut chunks from sinking to the bottom during baking.
- Self-rising flour is key to achieving the bread’s tender crumb, so avoid substituting with all-purpose flour without adding leavening agents.
- Cool the bread partially in the pan to help it set and make slicing easier, preventing crumbly edges.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer preservation.
