2.
Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ground ginger and salt into a large bowl.

Whisk together buttermilk, melted butter and egg in medium-size bowl. Add buttermilk mixture and the 1 cup chopped strawberries to flour mixture; stir until well blended and evenly moistened. Scrape batter into prepared pan; smooth top.
4.
Bake the shortcake in 400 degrees F oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until toothpick inserted in the center of the shortcake comes clean. Let cake cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove cake from pan to rack; let cool completely.

Spread cut side of the other half of shortcake with 2/3 cup lemon cream. Carefully invert on top of strawberries. Dollop top of shortcake with remaining lemon cream.
