A torte is a rich, layered cake that is often made with little to no flour, using ground nuts or breadcrumbs instead. It is typically filled with various ingredients such as cream, fruit, or chocolate, and is known for its dense texture and decadent flavor. Tortes can be served on special occasions and are popular in many European countries. Common types of tortes include the Sachertorte, a famous chocolate cake from Austria, and the Dobos torte, a Hungarian cake with layers of sponge and chocolate buttercream. These desserts are often beautifully decorated, making them visually appealing as well as delicious.
