*Set a measuring cup in hot water & add glucose. Stir until warm and thin. Add as directed above. **Add almond extract and vanilla to taste. Add this only at the end, to prevent icing from breaking down. Don't add butter flavor, may contain fat! Using "fine" sugar & salt is not necassary as long as you aren't going to press the icing through very fine decorating tips <#1,0,00, or 000>. I use regular. This icing is like the insides of marshmallows without the coating. It is the same as 7-minute icing without the cooking time. ***Be sure all utensils used are grease-free. Any bit of grease will break the icing down to soup. Very good-tasting. Great to use this type when adding coconut because it never crusts. Great to decorate with. Makes wonderful flowers, but remember, they don't crust. I have made flowers with it & they would crust ~ after a few weeks, but every time it rained, they got sticky again. This icing is the type used by professionals who do lots of big figure-piped characters, since it is sooo smooth & especially since it is sooo light-weight.

PREHEAT OVEN TO 375F. Cream together granulated sugar and 1/2 cup butter at medium speed in mixer bowl until smooth. Lower speed; add vanilla, nutmeg, eggs, yolks and milk. Mix until incorporated. Add baking powder and salt, then flour and cornmeal. Mix until fluffy. Set aside. Combine remaining 1/4 cup butter, Madeira and pineapple in heavy, 10-inch oven-proof skillet over medium heat and cook 20 minutes. Pineapple will release a lot of liquid.

This one may be a little strange to you, but is a classic in its own right. The difference between this one and the one you usually find in the cookbook, is that this one uses a skillet for a baking pan.

Drain the pineapple, reserving 2 Tbls of the juice. Melt the butter in a heavy 10-inch ovenproof skillet. Stir in the brown sugar and reserved pineapple syrup, blending well. Remove from the heat. Arrange the pineapple slices in the sugar mixture in a balanced arrangement. Place a maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple slice.

Combine the flour, sugars, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add the milk and oil then beat, with an electric mixer set on high speed, for 2 minutes. Add the egg, lemon rind, lemon juice and vanilla extract and beat for an additional 2 minutes. Carefully pour the batter over the pineapple in the skillet, spreading evenly. Bake in a preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the cake tests done. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Place a serving plate upside down on the top of the skillet and invert the skillet and plate. Serve this cake warm.

VARIATION:

For Peach Upside-Down Cake, use a can of peach halves instead of the pineapple slices and proceed as above.
