Instructions:

  1. Heat oven to 350°F with a rack set in the center.
  2. Butter and flour a 10-cup bundt pan, making sure to get into all the cracks and crevices of the pan to prevent sticking.

  4. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or in a bowl with a hand mixer, combine the sugar, pumpkin puree, avocado, eggs, and spices, mixing on medium-high for 2 minutes. Add the milk and stir.
  5. Fold in the dry ingredients until well combined.
  6. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and tap on the counter a few times to release any large air bubbles.
  7. Bake for 50 – 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool the cake in the pan set on a rack for 10 minutes, then invert the cake onto the rack to cool completely.
  9. Dust with confectioner’s sugar just before serving if desired.
