Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the beaten eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, buttermilk, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
  3. Sift in the self-rising flour and salt into the wet mixture, and gently fold the flour into the batter using a spatula.
  4. Fold in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top using a spatula.
  6. Insert the loaf pan into the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Once cooled, slice with a serrated knife and serve with butter, honey, or your favorite spread.
