Please specify the recipe. Most call for 3 to 5 eggs, usually.
looking for a cake recipe using mealies but no eggs
90 divided by 50 = 1.8 (1.8 eggs for each cake) 400 divided by 1.8 = 222.2 answer 222
222
222 eggs...if you cross multiply and divide...but that's only theoretical
One to three depending on the recipe.
222 eggs as 50 divided by 90= 0.55- so that is 0.55 eggs for one cake then times 0.55 by 400 and you get 222.22 -so that's 222.22 eggs for 400 cakes so you round it down to 222 eggs = 222 eggs are needed to make 400 cakes
You really don't need to change the recipe. The only thing I would suggest is baking the cake with duck eggs (if you can find them) instead of chicken eggs because they make the cake hold better. They make the cake less crumbly or unstable. Hope this helps. :)
Not all cakes need eggs. There is a website called Recipezaar.com that has a recipe for a fabulous chocolate cake that uses no eggs, or milk. It is called 1 pan fudge cake. Check it out!
It will be slightly less moist, and may crumble or be a bit mroe dry and hold together less well than a cake made with all three eggs. But since two out of the three were still used, it probably won't be that bad.

Eggs act as a leavening (rising agent) in cake batter and as a binder, which makes the batter smooth and gives the cake or cupcakes a good texture. Typically, a recipe which will make a 2-layer cake or 24 cupcakes will call for 3 eggs. Using fewer eggs means the batter will not rise as high or have a light, springy texture.
