Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan by greasing or lining it.
  2. In a large bowl, combine beaten eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, buttermilk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  3. Sift in the self-rising flour and salt into your wet mixture. Fold gently until just incorporated.
  4. Fold in the finely chopped pecans evenly into the batter.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
