Here's an eggless cake receip~ Good Luck and have a great day.
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup buttermilk (see note)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/3 cup sliced almonds
1 tablespoon icing sugar
Place all ingredients except slice almonds and icing sugar in a bowl.
Note: If you don't have buttermilk, put 2 teaspoons of vinegar in the measuring cup and fill to one cup with regular milk.
Mix at low speed until all ingredients are moistened.
Scrape down bowl.
Turn mixer to high and beat for 3 minutes.
Pour into a greased and floured 9" by 13" pan and sprinkle with the almonds.
Bake at 350F for 30-35 minutes.
Sprinkle with the icing sugar. (I use my tea strainer to shake the sugar over the cake. Just put the sugar in the strainer and tap it.).

This question has been answered before on Yahoo. I haven't tried the suggestion which is Mayonnaise
Which is made from eggs, sounds gross but it works and you can't taste it. It also makes the cake more moist.
Use one heaping teaspoon for each egg it calls for. So if you're using two eggs, use two big teaspoons full.
Also there is Eggless Apple Cake at http://living.oneindia.in/cookery/sweet-tooth/fruity-bakes/eggless-apple-cake.html
There is also a link to a forum that is discussing eggless cakes. These sound pretty good.

It's OK to use regular flour instead of cake flour.
The difference is gluten; regular flour has more of it. If you "work" regular flour too much, the gluten gets tough. That's wonderful if you want a bread that's light, airy, and chewy, but not so great if you want a dense rich cake.
So be careful not to mix the cake dough any more than you absolutely have to.
Eggs do a lot of things for your cake. The fat makes the cake moister, and you can use oil to accomplish the same thing, but the white is mostly protein, and there's no real substitute. Beg, borrow, steal, or buy some eggs from a neighbor, or thumb a ride to the nearest convenience store.
Your friend is lucky to have a friend like you. A store-bought cake is better than going empty-handed, but a home-made cake says "I love you" and a store-bought cake simply is sweet and pretty....

It only takes 20 minutes to go buy a new carton of eggs. I'm sure you can do it in time, really. Good luck!
