Notes

  1. My variation of this Zebra Bundt cake. Added preserves, lowered sugar to account to preserves and increased chocolate glaze slightly.
  2. Flecks of raspberry can be seen in cake for a more visual effect a small amount of red food coloring can be added to the white batter.
  3. Nutritional values will change based on ingredients used.
