tortes
Dense layered desserts
Tortes is the plural of torte, a rich cake typically made with ground nuts or breadcrumbs instead of flour and layered with cream, jam, or ganache.
European in origin, tortes tend to be denser than American layer cakes: The bakery displayed chocolate tortes and fruit tortes in the window.
