do Americans know what torte means?!
Answers:
In general, "torte" means "cake." But when used specifically, "torte" translates to "tart." (Notice the similarity of the words; "tart" is Germanic in origin.)
A true torte, or tart, is a yeast cake base, topped by sweetened fruit, and usually filled in with a gelatinized topping. Very similar to a wide strawberry shortcake.
"Torte" is sometimes used synonymously with "kuchen," which implies something more similar to traditional American-style "cake."
Hope this helps!
