6. In a small bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves for the sugar-spice topping.
7. Sprinkle the sugar-spice topping evenly over the batter in each bundt cake cup.
8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Allow the mini bundt cakes to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
