Best Answer

The eggs added to a cake mix serve a number of functions. The proteins in the egg provide some of the structure that holds the cake together, while the fats in the yolk make it richer and better-tasting. The fats in the yolk also help soften the texture of the cake, keeping it from becoming chewy. The yolk also contains emulsifiers that help the other ingredients blend together.
