Notes
- My variation of this Zebra Bundt cake. Added preserves, lowered sugar to account to preserves and increased chocolate glaze slightly.
- 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.
- Nutritional values will change based on ingredients used.
