Ingredients:
- 2 cups pecans, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
- In a large metal bowl, combine both the brown and white sugars with the vegetable oil and beaten eggs.
- Stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture is smooth, and there are no clumps of sugar.
- Add the self-rising flour, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the flour is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Gently fold in the finely chopped pecans, making sure they do not settle to the bottom of the batter.
- Lightly grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with butter or a non-stick spray.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and place it in the preheated oven.
- Bake the pecan bread for 30-35 minutes. Halfway through the baking time, rotate the baking dish 180 degrees to ensure even baking.
- To check if the bread is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the bread is ready.
- Allow the Sweet Alabama Pecan Bread to cool for about 15 minutes before cutting into servings.
