    Baking a cake is a science. You have to follow the recipe or else your cake batter won't turn into the cake of your dreams. I hate to break it to you Theorists, you've been doing it WRONG all along! It's true - at least, it's true if you use the boxed cake mix. That recipe on the back of the box? It's a LIE! Want to find out why? Put on your apron, we're about to get messy!

    I've actually seen the opposite advice, which is to add in an extra egg and also replace the oil with butter and water with milk. Makes for a much richer and dense cake. The trouble with the eggless cake is that it doesn't keep its shape and will fall apart when you try to move it and put icing on it, and you DEFINITELY wouldn't be able to stack it.

      Their not useless, cake has always served as a major part of the privileged society. And therefore, the look of it is at many times as important or at times even more important that the taste (things like weddings, high class parties, etc.). Eggs are used as structural security, so it makes sense why they implemeted it to the ingrediants.
      Edit: its just not completely neccessary.

    Pretty sure I remember a Factfiend episode about this. They've had the recipe to were you didn't need to add eggs like back in the 40s-50s, and they made it that way so that the housewives which were commonplace back then would have an easier time making cookies/brownies/cakes. But they felt like they weren't doing enough, and adding eggs didn't hurt so companies put eggs back on the recipe.

    You absolutely need eggs or something similar when working with gluten free flours. In fact there's a lot of interesting science regarding the differences with gluten free cooking and why you sometimes need to do the opposite of what you would do when cooking with gluten/wheat. Gluten free flours typically have a much higher starch to protein ratio than wheat flour or rye, for example, and so eggs not only act as an emulsifer, but add needed extra protein into the mix to account for that difference in the flours themselves.

    My grandmother and mother were bakers/ cake decorators and they almost never added eggs or oil to their boxed cakes (certain cakes had to have one of the other).
    You can sub applesauce in for both, and it makes the cake more moist, with fewer calories, more fiber and vegetarian. They owned their business for 20+ years and everyone raved about cakes. Also, it saved tons of money since they could just buy industrial sized cans of applesauce and never had to worry about egg and oil market prices.
