We’re looking for a delicious, rich dense cake as our clue. This comes to us from the March 14, 2025, edition of the USA Today Crossword. This cake is a five-letter word for the across section. There are a lot of cakes out there, but only one can fulfill this puzzle clue.

A rich dense cake can be made of different ingredients to pump it up

The type of cake we are looking for is a TORTE. The torte is a cake that is dense, fluffy, and rich. It is still a cake despite what others might say, but it can be made without flour while maintaining everything that makes it good.

In terms of aesthetics, a torte can be made with multiple layers. In fact, that’s the best way to enjoy it when it has a nice frosting and three layers of sponge on the inside. There might be a torte in a bakery near you, so get a piece for yourself today.
