NO, seriously…all the recipes I’ve seen that people don’t want eggs in but require eggs can usually be altered with applesauce…the thickest you can find, the natural sugar will hold it together just as an egg would.

7.Using lowest speed, add the next 9 ingredients up to and including the brandy or whisky (or use bourbon).
8.When everything has been incorporated well, remove the bowl from the mixer. Fold in the chopped figs, whole cherries and roughly chopped nuts. Use a wooden spoon.
9.Spoon the batter into the prepared tin, and smooth the top.
10.Bake 2 hours, BUT lower heat to 350 deg F /180 deg C after the first hour.
11.At the same time lay a double thickness of foil over the cake to prevent scorching.
12.Test with a skewer before removing!
13.Turn out gently on a wire rack and sprinkle over the last ingredient: the extra half cup of booze.
14.When cool, place on waxed paper in an airtight cake tin. Before using at Christmas, sprinkle over brandy, whisky or bourbon another 2 – 3 times.
goodluck!

Firstly, who thumbs-downed Max? Okra ‘goo’ works quite well as an egg sub!
Applesauce is a fat replacement NOT egg substitute. And the rudeness is uncalled for!
For most fruitcake recipes you can just ignore the egg! It really isn’t needed since the preserved fruit releases more than enough gum to bind the thing together.
If you want your fruitcake to be not so dense the Ener-G works well but tends to make the cake crumbly.
A good all-purpose ‘binder’ egg replacement is 1 tsp. Xanthan gum mixed with 2 Tbsp. water per egg called for.
