Coffee Spice Cake

Sorry I'm a little late in posting, life happens.

I made this cake for "breakfast duty" two weeks ago. The recipe called for 1.5t "mixed spices".  Let me tell you, "mixed spices" is not made by McCormick.  After some debate I decided to go with 1 tsp cinnamon and a quarter each of cloves and nutmeg.  The overall flavor was pretty good, although very light and kind of non-descript.  The cake does, interestingly enough, call for half a cup of black coffee - you can't really taste it though.  I used a Bundt cake pan and adjusted the time a little and sprinkled powdered sugar over it to serve.
