A cake can become dry and fragile (not hold together well) if it is not moist enough and if it lacks proper bonding during baking. This type of bonding that holds the cake together usually comes from eggs and a little bit from butter, milk, margerine, or shortening. Water (along with all other liquids) will make the cake moist and not dry.
