What is the word for "cake" and for pie"?

I always use pastel for pie (como pastel manzana)
and torta for cake (torta cumpleanos, dulce and mucho azucar).
Or can both words be used interchangeably?

The terminology seems to vary based on region.
In Mexico the word "pastel" is used for "cake" and "pay" is used for "pie".
"Birthday cake" - pastel de cumpleaños.
"Apple pie" - pay de manzana.
