The eggs are to hold the cake together and it's the bicarbonate or baking powder that causes the cake to rise. Try 2 teaspoons of flax powder mixed with half a cup of water. This has great binding properties and is high in fiber and Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid. A mashed banana is also a good substitute for eggs.

How does the number of eggs used in a cake affects how it rises?
Yes the number of eggs you put in a cake affects how it rises. It depends on the number of eggs you put in the cake. When you put in less than the regular number of eggs, the cake deflates. When you put in more than the regular number of eggs the cake will rise more. Eggs in cake batter when beaten catch and hold air. This helps the cake to remain lighter and make the cake rise better. The biggest effect on how the cake rises is the leavening (baking powder or baking soda). If it's not enough or it's old and doesn't react any more the cake won't rise. Also, if the eggs aren't beaten enough even if you use the right number, they won't have enough air incorporated to assist with the rise.

Using eggs will give your cake structure and bind the ingredients together.

Using cold eggs or room temperature eggs gives you enough time to mix and blend all the ingredients together before putting it into the oven to bake and rise.
