Step-by-Step Instructions for Sweet Alabama Pecan Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine beaten eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, buttermilk, and vanilla extract. Whisk for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
  3. Sift self-rising flour and salt into the wet mixture. Fold the flour into the batter until just combined.
  4. Fold in the finely chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top for an even bake.
  6. Bake for about 50-60 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
