Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your loaf pan by greasing or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Sift self-rising flour and salt into the wet mixture, then fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until no dry flour remains.
  4. Gently fold the finely chopped pecans into the batter.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
