Been debated upon for years, but bearing in mind they were created to have a soft base as it allowed for better mixing of flavours , does this stand it in the biscuit or cake bracket?...discuss people ?  |

"Oh heck not this one again.
It's a cake
Only in the biscuit aisle for tax reasons
Evil things
Should be banned

They are cakes, sold in packets like biscuits. As are Tunnocks tea cakes and both are awesome. |

"Generally the rule is
Cake - goes hard when stale
Biscuit - goes soft when stale
Jaffa cakes therefore cake "
It's down to water content.
Biscuits are dryer than the average atmosphere and absorb moisture.
Cake is more moist and loses water to the atmosphere.
Cake tins and biscuit barrels for the win.

No Jaffa Cakes are not biscuits....they wouldn't be called Jaffa Cakes if they were....they're mini cakes which I love....on the shopping list they go....haven't had them in years.... |

They're cakes for tax purposes (they go hard when stale, biscuits go soft when stale).
Presumably they're in the biscuit aisle because people treat them like biscuits |

You are correct. In my haste i got it the wrong way around and they are classed as cakes for tax purposes. They should thus belong in the cake aisle. |
