In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat the butter till light and creamy (1-2 min).
5
Gradually beat in the sugar till light and fluffy.

8
Stir in the pecans and chocolate chips.
9
Scrape the mix into the prepared tin, smoothing the top proportionately.

Because this is a very moist quick bread, a fine skewer won't come out clean.
12
Remove the tin to a wire rack to cold for about 30 min, then turn out on to the rack, top side up.
13
To glaze, stir the icing sugar and lemon juice together till smooth.
14

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
