Preheat oven to 325 degrees and spray a 9x5 loaf pan with baking spray.
In a stand mixer on medium-high speed, add together the butter, brown sugar, and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add in the eggs one at a time until fully combined, then add in the vanilla.
Add in the milk and flour, baking powder, and salt (alternate them in thirds) until just combined.
Add in all but a handful of the chopped pecans and stir.
Pour batter into the loaf pan and sprinkle on the rest of the pecans.
Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
