Lúdláb Cake alias "Goose Leg Cake"

Hi Dears! :)
So, recently I have become a full-time cake baker...
No, not really, but it's true, that during 1-2 weeks time I baked 3 big cakes. :)
This one was for my boyfriend's grandmother. :) 
You might ask why it is called as Goose Leg. It is actually really strange, because it has nothing to do with geese, and even less with legs...
But now I read a little bit on this subject, and there are several answers. 
First of all, it is the best when using real eggs from the cottages, which has orange yolks, just like the geese's legs, that makes our mixture at the beginning  beautifully yellow. 
The second solution, is that we slice the cake up in a triangle shape, quite similar to the leg of the goose
(I might add that we do that we every circle shaped cake through out the world, so I don't really think this would be the one)
The third thing is quite possible, that in the old times, this cake was the most popular during the ceremonies of Saint Martin, in autumn, when every dish has something to do with geese. This fashion remained, still now as well. :)

Anyway, it's tasty, and we could call it as well as a Chocolate Mousse Cake with sour cherries if You don't like to call it Goose Leg Cake. :D
One more tip: it is best to serve after cooling it in the fridge for a night
(True story, I didn't have time to make it one day before the celebration, I just cooled it for about 4 hours, and after serving it, it began to melt, and slowly ran away from the plate. :D It would have been great if we have put that in the fridge straight away. :) )
