Are you bouncy because you ate a lot of sugary lermon curd meringue cake? It's very pretty.

[korigatachi]

Possibly.
It may also have to do with the fact that the cake looks like a *cake*, not a pancake or a disc of charcoal or even bathroom sponge. It doesn't even have a massive sinkhole in it. (Not that you can see it in the photo, but when I took it out of the cake tin, it was flat and springy.) *weeps tears of joy*

Mmmm, like lemon meringue pie with a cake base. Mmmmmmmmm.

*sends you some virtual cake*
It looks better than it tastes. (Waaay too much sugar)

I tried to make lemonade with less sugar than in just the lemony bit of your photo. Sweet mercy, those are gooey insides.

In a competition for zesty looks, though, your pie takes the cake. Yay for posting! :D

I made the lemon curd with the wrong type of flour (used potato starch instead of cornflour) and wondered why it was taking so long to thicken up. I had used a goodly amount of the starch being realising it was potato starch (they look the same). The curd tastes a bit floury because of that
No cake goes unbaked without making a mistake. (It wasn't as bad as Mistake Cake. 7 steps, 7 mistakes.)
