Preparation procedure

Prepare the pan: Line the cake pan with baking paper or cling film so the cake can be easily unmolded.
Layering the biscuits: Quickly dip the sponge biscuits in milk and arrange them to cover the bottom of the pan.
Cream filling: Whip the cream until stiff. Mix the quark or mascarpone with the vanilla sugar and powdered sugar, and optionally the lemon zest. Gently fold in the whipped cream until a smooth cream forms.
Layering the cream: Spread the cream evenly over the biscuits and smooth it.
Strawberries: Place the washed and halved strawberries densely over the cream.
Preparing the gelatin: Prepare the gelatin with sugar and water according to the instructions. Let it cool slightly and carefully pour it over the strawberries with a spoon.
Chilling: Place the cake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, so it sets and the flavors meld.
