A torte (; from (), in turn from Latin via ) is a rich, usually multilayered, cake that is filled with whipped cream, buttercreams, mousses, jams, or fruit.

Tortes are commonly baked in a springform pan. Sponge cake is a common base, but a torte's cake layers may instead be made with little to no flour, using ingredients such as ground nuts or breadcrumbs. Ordinarily, the cooled torte is glazed and garnished.
