Yes, there are almost always eggs in cake. Eggs add moisture, and are also the most important binding agent that acts to hold the cake together during and after baking. Without eggs, the cake (once baked) would be dry and cumbly and fall apart.

How does the number of eggs used in a cake affects how it rises?

Yes the number of eggs you put in a cake affects how it rises. It depends on the number of eggs you put in the cake. When you put in less than the regular number of eggs, the cake deflates. When you put in more than the regular number of eggs the cake will rise more. Eggs in cake batter when beaten catch and hold air. This helps the cake to remain lighter and make the cake rise better. The biggest effect on how the cake rises is the leavening (baking powder or baking soda). If it's not enough or it's old and doesn't react any more the cake won't rise. Also, if the eggs aren't beaten enough even if you use the right number, they won't have enough air incorporated to assist with the rise.

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.
