Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°; brush the inside of a 10-cup Bundt pan thoroughly with melted butter and dust it lightly with flour (use a pastry brush to help distribute the flour and tap out any excess).
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl until well combined.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat the butter with the sugars on medium speed for 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy.

- Stir in pecans.
- In another mixer bowl and using the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites on medium speed until stiff peaks form ; fold gently into the batter.
