Take out, carefully fall onto a damp tea towel and remove the baking paper. Let the sponge cake cool down.

    Wash and clean the strawberries. Cut 1 strawberry into very thin slices. Spread the slices on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Leave to dry in the oven (fan-assisted: 50 °C) for approx. 1 hour. Puree 125 g strawberries and 50 g sugar. Soak gelatine in cold water. Dice 125 g strawberries. Stir curd and puree until smooth. Squeeze the gelatine and dissolve. Stir 2-3 tablespoons of quark mixture into the gelatine. Stir into the remaining quark. Chill until the mixture begins to gel. Whip the cream until stiff and allow vanilla sugar to trickle in. Fold the cream and strawberry pieces into the gelatinising quark mixture. Cut the sponge cake 2 x crosswise (13 x 32 cm). Place the cake frame around a base and spread half of the cream on top.
