 Method when using the SD-ZX2522 bread machine with Gluten Free Cake program
  1. Place the blade into the bread pan
  2. Add all the ingredients into the bread pan in the order listed above apart from the Demerara sugar
  3. Set the bread machine to the GLUTEN FREE CAKE program for 1 hour 50 minutes
  4. After two minutes when the beep sounds, scrape any residue from the sides using a rubber spatula
  5. Sprinkle Demerara sugar on the top of the mixture
