English Translation
Let’s eat this delicious pie.
Is tarta really pie in Spanish? In English a pie is quite different than a cake.
Tarta can be either. There is pastel which is either cake or pudding but not pie.

There are a lot of regional variations in the names of pastries (& foods in general, although to a lesser degree.) Especially when it comes to cake. In México, cake is pastel & pie is tarta. In Puerto Rico, cake is bizcocho, which is a word that refers to a variety of different pastries, depending on the country. In Argentina, cake’s torta while in México that’s a type of sandwich &, I believe, a pie in Spain (peninsular Spanish is not my strong point.)
