Eggs are the main binding agent in cakes. They hold the cake together so that it does not fall apart and / or crumble once it is removed from the pan after baking. They also add some moisture and taste to the cake, due to the fat content in the egg yolks

There are two parts to an egg the yolk and the egg white. In a cake you use both parts of an egg. The egg hold the cake together and without it, it would he dry and crumbly!

The eggs act as an emulsifier. and, in plain english, this just means that they bind the ingredients together and stop them from separating during and after the baking process.

so the cake wont be dry

To make it light,and when you eat the cake the flour taste creamy and rich a bit,it basically locks the flavour.

Why does it matter how many eggs go in a cake?

Eggs are very important to a cake. If there are no eggs at all, or not enough, the cake will not hold together. After baking, it will crumble and fall apart, as eggs are the main binding agent in the cake batter. Eggs also add moisture. Too many eggs will result in a goopy and dense cake, while too few eggs will result in a dry and floury-tasting cake.
