Ingredients:
• 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups (300 g) granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour

Instructions:
1 Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
2 In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
3 Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
4 In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
5 Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6 Fold in chopped toasted pecans.
7 Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
8 Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9 Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
• Toast pecans lightly in a dry pan for 5 minutes before chopping to enhance flavor.
• Serve plain or with a drizzle of maple glaze or cream cheese frosting for extra indulgence.
• Perfect with a cup of chai or coffee!
