  4. In a smaller mixing bowl, combine the cooked sweet potato and add the cashewmilk. Finely mash, or use an immerision hand blender to puree.  Then add in the pumpkin seed oil and vanilla. Stir and then set aside. 
  5. In a third bowl, combine the eggs and sugar. Using a hand mixer, mix on medium-high for 2 - 3 minutes. 
  6. Then, pour the egg mixture into the sweet potato mixture. Stir. Then, pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overstir. 
  7. Pour the batter into a greased bundt pan, then bake for 45 minutes. 
  8. Once the cake is finished, let it cool on the counter for 20 minutes. Then, flip it over onto a cake plate.
  9. Combine the powdered sugar, bourbon and creamer. Stir until a creamy consistency has formed. If it's too liquid-y, add more powdered sugar. Then use a spoon to drizzle it over the cake. Then, sprinkle on the crushed pecans.
