A rich cake is a type of dessert that is usually made with multiple layers of cake, frosting, and other ingredients. The three most common types of rich cakes are TORTE, GATEAU, and eclair. A TORTE is a type of cake that is made with multiple layers of cake and frosting, often with a filling in between the layers. A GATEAU is a type of cake that is usually made with multiple layers of cake, frosting, and other ingredients such as fruit or cream. An eclair is a type of pastry that is filled with cream and topped with chocolate. All three of these types of cakes are considered to be rich cakes due to their decadent ingredients and flavors.
