What does TORTE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A rich cake, usually containing little or no flour, made mainly from eggs, sugar, and ground nuts, chocolate, or breadcrumbs.
The word torte came into English from German, where it names dense, sweet cakes such as the famous Sachertorte. Because a torte relies on ground nuts or breadcrumbs rather than flour for structure, it tends to be heavier and moister than an ordinary sponge cake. Bakers often layer a torte with jam, buttercream, or chocolate ganache between thin cake rounds. The word is now standard in English-language recipe books and pastry menus.
