Sift flour, baking powder, soda, salt, and spices together and set aside. Cream remaining cup of sugar and shortening. Add egg, beating until light. Alternately add flour mixture and milk, beating after each addition until smooth. Spoon batter on top of pineapple. Bake in moderate oven 375 degrees for 45-50 minutes or until done. Cool 5 minutes then invert pan on serving place. Serve warm.
