Finding this a debatable topic of conversation with N atm but my question is - are Jaffa cakes a cake or a biscuit ?

Thoughts please

Stocked in the biscuit isle but my thoughts are that they are a cake surely, as biscuits are hard for you to dunk in your cuppa yet Jaffa cakes the only so called 'biscuit' that is soft

Technically biscuits go soft when left out, and cakes go hard. So they say, keep some out the biscuit tin for a few days and let us all know ????

Mcvities won a court case in 1991 to classify them as a cake. Simply because they become exempt from biscuit tax.

Love Google lol xx

you wouldn't serve a Jaffa cake on a plate with a fork and pouring cream. So it's not a cake

Now shush!

Ah but who makes the best one? I find the M&S dark chocolate version superior but more expensive. ASDA own brand also taste very good and at 60p that is a hard act to follow.

omg, I really need to get a life!

In every shop they're on the biscuit aisle. That is uncontested proof that Jaffacakes are actually Jaffabiscuits .

Yes - very definitely - they are a cake or a biscuit...

They are a cake.

Partly because of the court case. But also apparently they go hard like a cake does if left.. where as biscuits go soft..

Wouldn't know biscuits and cake never last long enough for me to test the theory.

Also, when I open a packet I do find I have to eat the whole lot at one sitting. One, because of the 'drying' problem and two, if I leave a half eaten packet then the rats will get them....well the kids but its the same thing only they don't shit in the cupboard when they have finished.

Jaffa cakes are made with sponge. So are a cake.

A biscuit however is actualy an Unleavened cake

They also mean that a man is infertile apparently. I recently had a meet where a man referred to himself as a "Jaffa" I smiled and said that's nice. Think he was saying that he was sweet?

That's a common phrase, jaffa oranges are generally seedless, hence the saying X

In 1991 it's was ruled that they were cake not buscuits (VAT payable)

mcvities weren't happy with that!

(It's also orange jam on top with a Genovese cake base)

There also soooo lush!

I'm a big fan. Love jammy dodgers too!
