Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray a 9-inch round cake pan with non-stick cooking spray and lightly flour to prevent the cake from sticking. Set aside. Using a blender or food processor, blend/pulse together the strawberry preserves and buttermilk until it is creamy and smooth. Set aside. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until combined. Set aside.
Using an electric mixer and a large bowl, mix together the butter and eggs on medium speed for a few minutes until fluffy. Add in the eggs and continue mixing until it comes together. Gradually add in the flour mixture and buttermilk mixture, alternating between the two until all of the ingredients mix together. Use a spoon to stir in the pecans until distributed throughout the cake batter. Spoon the cake batter into the prepared pan and place into the oven to bake 25 to 30 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean and the cake has browned.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan on a cooling rack for 8 to 10 minutes before removing from the pan to allow it to cool completely. To make the glaze, in a medium mixing bowl whisk together the powdered sugar, heavy whipping cream, and lemon juice until smooth. Spread onto the strawberry preserves cake and garnish with fresh strawberries if desired.
