In Germany, we have different names for different types of cakes. Most of them are simply called »Kuchen«, which means »cake«, d’oh! But then there are also »Torten« – big layer cakes with some kind of cream involved and often nicely decorated. Well… and then there is something called Linzer Torte – just from the name, you might think »oh, that must be a big one then«, but it’s not. It actually looks more like a flat tart. The wonders of German language. ;P
