- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
Sugars:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
Flavor and Nuts:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Position the oven rack in the center and heat to 350F (175C), creating an ideal baking environment for the sweet alabama pecan bread.
- Thoroughly coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter, ensuring complete coverage to prevent sticking.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, light brown sugar, eggs, and vegetable oil until the mixture transforms into a silky, homogeneous blend.
- Gently incorporate self-rising flour into the wet ingredients, stirring with minimal agitation to maintain the batter’s delicate texture.
- Infuse the batter with rich vanilla extract, stirring until the aromatic essence is evenly distributed.
- Delicately fold chopped pecans throughout the mixture, creating a harmonious blend of nutty crunch and sweet batter.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to spread it into an even, smooth layer that promises uniform baking.
- Slide the dish into the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, watching for a golden surface and testing doneness with a toothpick that emerges clean.
- After removing from the oven, let the bread rest in the pan for 15 minutes, allowing it to set and develop a tender crumb.
- Slice into generous squares and serve, enjoying the bread while it’s warm or at room temperature for maximum flavor enjoyment.
Notes
- Toast pecans lightly before adding to enhance their nutty flavor and create a deeper, more complex taste profile for the bread.
- Substitute vegetable oil with melted butter for a richer, more indulgent texture that adds depth to the sweet Alabama pecan bread.
- Use gluten-free self-rising flour to make this recipe suitable for those with gluten sensitivities, ensuring everyone can enjoy this delightful treat.
- Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top before baking to balance the sweetness and create a more sophisticated flavor contrast.
