Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  7. Fold in the chopped pecans gently.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top.
  9. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

Measure flour by spooning it into the cup and leveling off with a knife. Toast pecans for enhanced flavor.
