Sieve onto the mixture and fold in. Put the sponge mixture on a baking tray (32 x 39 cm) covered with baking paper and smooth it down. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for 10-12 minutes.

    Remove the sponge cake from the oven and turn it over onto a damp tea towel sprinkled with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Carefully peel off the baking paper and let it cool down. In the meantime soak the gelatine. Peel 2 oranges so that the white skin is completely removed. Cut out orange fillets between the parting skins. Squeeze the remaining juice from the parting skins and collect it. Mix mascarpone, quark, 100 g sugar and vanillin sugar. Coarsely crumble the speculoos. Drizzle with liqueur. Warm up the orange juice. Squeeze the gelatine and dissolve in the orange juice. Stir droplets into the mascarpone mixture. Carefully fold in the orange filets and speculoos. Cover the mixture and chill. In the meantime, warm up the orange jam and spread it on the sponge cake. Roll up the sponge cake tightly from the long side and cut into 15 slices.
