Why does cake have different properties than each of the ingredients that went into a cake made with flour, sugar, and eggs? 1/12/12

The cake will have different properties than flour, sugar, and eggs, because cake is formed by bread, or bread-like food. And of course, bread is different then flour, sugar, and eggs.
