Do you need to mix the eggs together when baking?

If the question means whether eggs should be beaten to break up the yolks before adding the eggs to the rest of the ingredients - that is often a good technique that prevents possible lumps in the batter, but it is not always necessary. On the other hand, if the question means whether several eggs need to be mixed together with each other before adding them to the other ingredients - No, individual eggs do not need to be combined before adding them to other ingredients. In fact, many cake recipes specifically call for each egg to be added separately.
