1. Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until foamy. Fold in the mascarpone with a spoon and stir in the lemon zest.
2. Prepare a flat glass dish. Mix the espresso with the brandy in a bowl. Dip half of the sponge fingers into it briefly and lay them on the bottom of the glass dish.
3. Spread half of the mascarpone over the sponge fingers. Do the same again with the remaining sponge fingers to form another layer over the mascarpone. Spread the rest of the cream on top.
4. Cover and leave for at least 5 hours in the fridge to infuse, preferably overnight. Dust with cocoa powder before serving.
