Using a hand mixer, mix the mascarpone with the yogurt, egg yolks, cappuccino powder, vanilla sugar, sugar, and lemon zest. Carefully fold in the beaten egg whites. Wash, hull, and finely chop the strawberries. Mix the coffee and liqueur. Place half of the sponge fingers next to each other in a suitable dish and drizzle generously with half of the coffee and liqueur mixture. Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the sponge fingers. Top with the strawberries, leaving a few for decoration. Place the remaining sponge fingers on top and drizzle with the remaining coffee and liqueur mixture. Finally, spread the rest of the cream on top. Refrigerate for 3 hours. Dust with cocoa powder and garnish with the remaining strawberries before serving. The cream is also great for filling cakes or as a simple dessert. At Christmas, a little cinnamon or gingerbread spice is always added.
