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.

no cake is a chemical mixture
A cake will last longer without ingredients such as eggs and milk. EG: in the war soldiers were given the anzac biscuits as they could last long periods without perishing. The cake may also be more crumbley without eggs, as eggs assist in binding a cake.
Eggs are a mixture.
be more specific. what kind are you makingMore information:Assuming you are following a recipe for some type of cake, the eggs are beaten into the combined shortening and sugar, then flavoring is added to that creamed mixture. The combined dry ingredients are then slowly added to the creamed mixture alternately with any additional liquids called for in the recipe.One generally does not add eggs directly to the flour (whether cake or all-purpose) because that would cause lumping.

Sponge cake is a heterogeneous mixture.
mixture as the elements are not chemically bonded :)
Yes, there are almost always eggs in cake. Eggs add moisture, and are also the most important binding agent that acts to hold the cake together during and after baking. Without eggs, the cake (once baked) would be dry and cumbly and fall apart.
Fruit cake is a mixture.
The cake as a whole can't be called as a compound, but it is the MIXTURE of several compounds.
