Baking powder and or soda water play a factor in the crispness. Egg adds flavour and colour but can be eliminated.
Lighter tempura style batter can be made using corn flour and soda water.
Obvioulsy beer (or yeast) add lightness and great flavour.
Really fancy methods include whisking the egg whites and folding in - but i dont think you want to go that route.

The baking powder sounds interesting, how much would you say you would add to about 12 eggs and 1kg flour ?
Eish!!!!!!!!! Maybe go by the suggestions on the tin or for a basic cake. Look the only problem if too much is the burning part.
At a guess 4-6 tea spoons, but am guessing. I work by eye more than kg or google it!!
