What is a torte cake?

A torte is a type of cake that is typically denser and richer than a regular sponge cake. It is often made with ground nuts or breadcrumbs in place of flour, giving it a more dense and crumbly texture. Torte cakes are also often filled with layers of fruit, chocolate, or cream, and are sometimes soaked in a liqueur for added flavor. Torte cakes can be found in various forms and flavors, such as chocolate torte, almond torte, and fruit torte. They are often served as a special dessert for celebrations or holidays.
