Rinse pears and wipe dry. Using a sharp knife, cut out core from the bottom of fruit, being careful not to puncture outer walls of pear or damage stem.
Drain quark in a colander. Mix butter until fluffy in a large mixing bowl. Gradually mix in sugar, vanilla sugar, salt and lemon zest. Stir in quark. Add eggs one by one, while mixing. Sift flour, cornmeal and baking powder and mix into batter. If batter is too dry, stir in some milk, a few drops at a time.

Let cake cool briefly in pan, then loosen rim from pan. Sprinkle cake with powdered sugar. Serve on dessert plates.
