Once the chocolate base is baked, let it cool in the pan before adding the filling.

Instructions for Filling
Creating the filling is where the magic happens. Follow these steps:

1. Mix the cherries, juice, and sugar with the vanilla pudding powder in a saucepan.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer for one minute, then let it cool.
3. Combine the whipped cream, mascarpone, cream stiffener, and powdered sugar in a bowl until it forms a solid mass.

Once the cherry mixture and the cream are ready, you can begin assembling the cake.
Combining the Layers
Now that you have the chocolate base and the filling prepared, it’s time to assemble the cake:

1. Spread the cherry mixture evenly over the cooled chocolate base.
2. Add the cream on top of the cherry layer, spreading it evenly.
3. Arrange the Speculoos cookies on top of the cream layer.

This combination of layers creates the perfect balance of flavors and textures.
Chilling the Cake
Once the cake is assembled, it’s important to let it chill to allow the flavors to meld together and the cake to set:
