Ingredients

2 ½ cups (17.5 ounces, 496 grams) granulated sugar
1 cup (8 ounces, 227 grams) canola oil
3 large eggs
3 cups (15 ounces, 425 grams) all-purpose flour (See Tip 1)
2 ½ teaspoons Pumpkin Spice
2 teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon table salt
15 ounce can solid-pack pumpkin
Confectioners' sugar for dusting optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray a 10-cup Bundt Pan with nonstick spray. (See Tip 2)
In a large bowl, combine the sugar and oil; beat on medium until well blended.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Using a small wire strainer, sift in pumpkin spice, baking soda, and salt; beat well to fully incorporate.
Add pumpkin; beat well to fully incorporate.
Add flour; beat on low just until combined. Scrape down sides with wooden spoon; stir to ensure that flour is fully combined.
Transfer to a greased 10-inch Bundt pan. Bake 60 to 65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack. Remove pan and cool completely.
You can dust with confectioners' sugar, if you'd like. (See Tip 3)
Yield: 12 to 16 servings.

Notes

For best results, weigh your ingredients, especially the flour. The reason is that flour amounts can vary significantly depending on how it's measured. I consistently use Julia Child's rule of thumb that one cup of flour weighs 5 ounces.
To preserve the intricate detail of Bundt pans, use a high-quality nonstick spray. My favorite is Bak-Kleen.
Rather than dusting the cake with confectioners' sugar, drizzle a vanilla or cream cheese glaze over the top.
