Can someone explain why the genitive case is used in this sentence?

Ты хочешь торт какого размера?

Nominative for размер and generative for торт. Is this some kind of test or what? :D

Just I like to discuss with you :)

So, I meant a word "торт".

Well, of course торт in the original sentence was in accusative case. But it doesn't seem to be the subject of the question asked.

Methinks the topic starter means "размера"
