Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups self-rising flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups pecans, finely chopped
Wet Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs, beaten
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by generously coating the interior with butter or nonstick spray to ensure easy release.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and buttermilk until the mixture transforms into a uniform, glossy consistency.
- Sift the self-rising flour and salt into the liquid ingredients, using gentle folding motions to integrate them without creating a tough texture.
- Infuse the batter with rich vanilla extract, then delicately incorporate the chopped pecans, ensuring an even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish, smoothing the surface to create an even layer that will bake uniformly.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, monitoring for a golden-brown surface and checking doneness by inserting a toothpick near the center – it should emerge with minimal moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and let the pecan delight rest in the baking dish for approximately 15 minutes, allowing it to set and cool slightly before cutting into servings.
