What can be used as a substitute for eggs and oil in a cake mix?
I use the same amount of melted butter. It makes my cakes stay moist longer.
A different answer:
If one cannot use either eggs or oil for a cake mix, it might be best to choose a different type of dessert or make a cake from scratch with available ingredients. While making substitution for either eggs or oil might produce an acceptable cake, replacing both eggs and oil would not be likely to produce an attractive or palatable cake.
Is it better to soak fruit in whiskey or brandy for a Christmas cake?
Persoanlly, I think brandy is better. But it does vary and depend on the recipe.
Does the type of flour affect the cakes final results?
Yes it does.
Self-raising flour will of course cause the cake to rise a lot more while cooking.
Plain flour does not have this same effect. The recipe should indicate how much of which type of flour to use and what the final result should be.
If you use more self-raising flour it will tend to have more 'air-bubbles' giving it a lighter and 'fluffier' texture.

I use a mixer, either a hand mixer or a stand mixer. If you have neither one may use an old fashion egg beater or a whisk. If one does not have that a large spoon will work it just means a little extra effort.
A name-day cake is the same a birthday cake. There is no specific recipe for a name-day cake.
In Russia, historically, people celebrated their name day instead of their birthday. A name day is the day in the Church calendar dedicated to the saint, after whom one is named. So, if I my name Ivan, my name day is April 27, regardless of when I was born.
With more first names of foreign origins, as well as made-up names, making their way into the Russian culture in the early 20th century, it became impractical to celebrate name day, as many kids would not have a corresponding saint. Still, the birthday is often colloquially referred to as one's "name day" (imeniny in Russian) and the birthday cake (which would sound very awkward in Russian) is called a "name-day cake" instead.
