A tart is a baked dish with a filling over a pastry base, often sweet but can also be savory. A tort is a type of cake or dessert originating from Europe, particularly Eastern Europe, often made with ground nuts or breadcrumbs as the base. Tarts are typically flatter and have a pastry crust, while torts are usually thicker and denser.
Torte = cake (comprised of eggs, ground nuts, bread crumbs and occationally flour) Tart = pie (no top crust; commonly baked in metal dishes)
A torte is a type of cake.
"Torte" means cake in German.

'un gâteau' is any sort of cake in French. 'Une tarte' is a tart (a very thin and flat cake with a layer of fruit above) and pies are likely to be called 'tourtes'. 'Une tourte' resembles a'tarte' but has an additional layer of dough, to cover the fruits(or the mix of fruits, eggs, veggies, as une tourte may also be a main course and non only a dessert) The two terms are often used somewhat interchangeably, with one or the other given to specific recipes--usually a dessert which includes thin cake-like layers with some kind of creamy or jelly-like filling, along with icing and/or fruit or other toppings. Black Forest dessert is called both a gateau and a torte (and a cake); Sachertorte, on the other hand, is pretty much always called torte. The main idea, though, is that both gateaux and tortes are more than simple cakes.
