What is cake in spanish? Como se dice Cake en español?
Yesterday, as i was trying to have a conversation with a customer from Peru, I forgot the word for Cake in Spanish. I could remember bolo (portuguese) and gateau (French) but not in spanish. After the conversation I remembered that it was Pastel. However, when i was telling my spanish speaking friend from Chile about it he said I was wrong. Torta is Cake. This is confusing because I always order Tortas from my Mexican Bakery and they are sandwiches. So I asked someone else and they said that it was Tarta. Which word is right and where?
Ayer, yo tuve una conversa con un cliente en español. Durante la conversación me olvidé la palabra para cake. Después, me acordé que la palabra era pastel. Pero cuando yo hablé con mi amigo de Chile que el me dijo que la palabra era torta. Pero eso me confundía mucho porque yo siempre pido los sandwiches de mi mercado mexicano y eses son llamados "tortas." Ademas, alguien diferente dijo que la palabra para cake era "tarta. Qual palabra funciona y donde?
