baked pastry case
or cake base.
Germans like to put fruit with a gelatine in them - right now strawberry season is coming here :).
this type of cake base is not used in the States and I have never seen it in Britain...

I keep thinking about...
It is like a sponge cake but not quite - a bit denser - a cross between a sponge cake and poundcake but drier.

Tortenboden
You might even keep the German term. A lot of the links below do, some with an English explanation. Personally, I like sponge cake (flan), because most of the industrial Tortenböden are, in fact, sponge cakes (Biskuit-Tortenboden).

Torte Base
Torte Base(s) or Torte Buttom(s) . A Torte is not a cake per say . That would be Kuchen .
Cake = Kuchen , Torte = Torte , therefore Torte base or buttom.
I hope that helps !:)
