Description
A classic Southern-style Sweet Alabama Pecanbread that’s ultra-moist, rich with brown sugar, and packed with crunchy pecans—somewhere between cake and bread.
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
- Fold in chopped pecans.
- Pour batter evenly into prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
- Excellent with coffee or as a simple dessert.
