Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; gradually
add brown sugar, beating well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating until blended
after each addition. Combine flour and next 4 ingredients; add to butter
mixture alternately with pumpkin, beginning and ending with flour mixture.
Beat at low speed after each addition, just until dry ingredients are
moistened. Stir chopped pecans and vanilla into batter. Spoon into a
greased 8 1/2 – x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan. Bake at 350 for 1 hour or until a
wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack
