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

  1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
  5. Fold in chopped pecans.
  6. Pour batter evenly into prepared baking dish.
  7. Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. 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.
