Combine flour, baking powder, soda, and salt; add to creamed mixture alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix well after each addition.
Combine brown sugar, pecans, and cinnamon; set aside.
Pour half of the batter into the greased baking pan. Spoon strawberries over batter; sprinkle with half of the brown sugar mixture. Top with remaining batter, and sprinkle the top with remaining brown sugar mixture.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until it a wooden pick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. Remove cake from oven and let cool: cut into squares.
GLAZE:
Combine the juice and cornstarch in a small saucepan; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture begins to boil. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in lemon juice. (Makes 1 cup)
Top each square with warm glaze and a dollop of whipped cream.
