Drain the cherries on a sieve, collecting the juice. Cut the rolls into small cubes. Cream fat, sugar and vanilla sugar, add eggs bit by bit and beat until creamy.
Stir in cinnamon and lemon peel. Add milk, quark and almonds and stir in. Sieve baking powder onto the mixture and stir in. Put the rolls into the quark and egg mixture and fold in. Fill layers with the cherries into a greased casserole dish sprinkled with breadcrumbs.
Bake in the preheated oven (electric oven 200°C/ gas: level 3) for 50-60 minutes. Cover the casserole with parchment paper after half the baking time. Remove the cherry brandy from the oven and serve dusted with icing sugar.
