Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and eggs. Whisk until smooth and slightly frothy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients, stirring gently to combine.
  4. Fold in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes until a golden-brown crust appears. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
  7. Allow to cool in the dish for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
