Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×5 inch loaf pan by greasing and flouring it.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until smooth; then add eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition.
  3. Stir in vanilla extract. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with buttermilk until just combined; fold in chopped pecans gently.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle cinnamon-sugar topping if desired.
  6. Bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
