1 cup brown sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Stir in the self-rising flour and salt, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- While still warm, drizzle the top with melted butter and honey.
- Let it cool slightly, then slice into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Swap pecans for walnuts or a mix of both for a twist.
Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for warm spice flavor.
Use a glaze instead of the honey-butter drizzle for a sweeter topping.
Try mini loaf pans for individual servings or gifts.
Add shredded coconut or mini chocolate chips for variety.
Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
