Philippines
In the Philippines, particularly among Northern and Tagalog-speaking provinces and islands, 'torta' refers to a kind of omelette made with eggs, ground meat and sometimes minced onion and potato.
In Visayas and Mindanao, 'torta' refers to a sponge cake made with flour, egg yolks, milk, and salt. It resembles a large cupcake. Often served as dessert with butter, sugar, and/or cheese on top. It is sometimes referred to as 'torta mamon', 'mamon', or 'puto mamon' to distinguish it from the Tagalog definition of 'torta'. See Puto.
