I wouldn't put a regular cake recipe in a bundt pan. If you want to use your bundt pan, look for recipes that are more like pound cakes. If you pick up the CakeLove cookbook, the author has lots of recipes for flavored pound cakes. Or check out recipes in the SmittenKitchen blog.
Yellow or chocolate would be better than spice. Or another flavor that goes with chocolate (peanut butter?)

Heh heh. Oh I had quite the disaster on Christmas Day with a peanut butter cake. Okay, so it looks like I will just make a yellow cake and put the frosting in the middle**. It's for a NY's Eve party I'm giving and some are bringing kiddos so they will probably like it too. I get worried about using the traditional 2 round 8 inch baking pans b/c my cakes seem to get burned no matter what (then I end up cutting the bottom and full sides of the cakes). I grease the pans with butter lightly and then flour lightly. Should I not use flour? Help!
But, yeah, you're right about Bundt cakes. I made a delicious Devil's Food Cake on Christmas Eve but b/c I used a Bundt pan, it was very tall and...that kind of cake is much too rich for a tall cake.
**Probably adding a lightly brushing of blackberry preserves glaze in the middle before putting in a layer of frosting.
