I do not have a Bundt pan and I really don't need another pan in my tiny kitchen.
For recipes that call for a Bundt pan, what sort of pan could I substitute? 8x8 square pan maybe?

I don't think an 8x8 pan would be big enough. I've always used 2 large loaf pans instead of a bundt, and that seems to work out pretty well.

Snorkie, if you don't have an angel food cake pan, I would substitute a one-layer cake pan, especially if it's 10". However, I think bundt cakes are the best; they're a fun size, cook evenly throughout (because of the "hole") and fun to cut up (and eat of course).
I got my bundt cake pan at the Salvation Army thrift shop for a buck. It's worth the investment. Treat yourself.

I don't use a bundt pan, either -- I always use a 13x9 cake pan or two 9x5 loaf pans, depending on the recipe.
Technically, when you sub cake pans, you should actually go by cups. I have no idea how many cups a bundt pan is versus a 13x9 cake pan. If you know how many cups your batter is (which, sad to say, most recipes don't give unless it's for wedding cakes), you can measure that many cups of water into the pan to get an idea of how suitable the pan is. I've done this before with my weird-shaped pans (star, heart, etc.) when I don't want to overflow the pan or end up with a super-flat cake.
