Lots of baking recipes ask for room-temperature eggs, and it isn't just fussiness.
Cold eggs can firm up creamed butter, so the batter looks curdled and holds less air. Eggs that have sat out a bit usually blend in smoothly and help the cake rise more evenly.
Same eggs. Different temperature. Different cake.
A little waiting before you mix shows up in the crumb.
