Place one sponge cake layer on a cake plate and place a cake ring around it. Cut the other sponge cake layer into 16 slices and set aside. Whip the cream until stiff peaks form and chill. Soften the gelatine according to the package instructions. Whip the quark with the sugar, vanilla sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Squeeze out the gelatine, melt it in a bain-marie, and stir in 1 tablespoon of the quark cream, one at a time. Now fold the gelatine-quark mixture into the quark cream.
