Is the Jaffa Cake a Cake or a biscuit????

Okay, Yes it has Cake in the title but Animal biscuits arent made of Animals.

I think its a biscuit. My Friend thinks its a Cake.
I've asked alot of people and the vote does really seem to be 50/50.
There's only one way to settle it -- Let the members of TiBB Decide!

Jaffa Cake -- Cake or Biscuit? You Deicide!!!

Coming Soon : Kit-Kat - Biscuit or Choclate Bar? lol

[stacey]

BISCUIT!

[MarkWaldorf]

Cake

What a coincidence - this question was on the Reading Uni Student Union website, and I couldn't decide there either.
Erm, I don't think it's either, it's probably closer to a cake because it's called a Jaffa Cake though.

[LittleMissC]

Ummm... neither hehe

[Sophii3x]

CAKE!

[Sophii3x]

A buiscit is like a custard cream, anyway the word cake is in Jaffa cake

According to the VAT Tribunal they officially are cakes

Food and snack manufacturer McVities argued in 1991 that its Jaffa Cakes were not chocolate biscuits which do incur VAT, but cakes - which are exempt. The cakes were eventually declared VAT-free.

Apparently they proved this by making an oversized Jaffacake

Cakes.

But McVitties went to court over this, because money was at stake and it was officially ruled to be a cake. Are you calling a court of law deluded?

[xGemmax]

It will always be a cake!!

[Chrizzle]

Definately a cake.

You say animal biscuits arent made of animals, but the title says 'biscuits' just like Jaffa Cakes says 'cake'
It has a cake filling anyway- no sign of a biscuit.

[Ruth*Star]

Its a Cake. Why else would they call it a cake. if it was a buiscit, it would be called Jaffa Buiscit, so i'm saying cake.

[Ollie!]

I think of them as biscuits but it seems that they're cakes.

[Z]

Definitely cakes. When someone says biscuit, you assume it's going to be crunchy. Cakes are normally made with sponge. There is a sponge (or at least, sponge like) base to a jaffa cake. Cake is in the name. Plus, it has a filling like a cake would!

I have. I believe it was Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Elle McPherson & Jodie Kidd. They cut it into 4, and indulged themselves. *nods*

[Sam]

A bit random dontya think lol? I'd say cake, i got a friends whos obsessed with them.

[Siouxsie]

cake its a sponge

[Chrizzle]

I dont get why people are voting biscuit lol.
It just isnt a biscuit. Fact!

Hense the name 'jaffa cake'
lmao

[LittleMissC]

I don't think it's a biscuit. It tastes like a cake
But it doesn't look like a cake

[Lauren]

It's a biscuit.
It's so obvious

And you can't just say it's a cake cos of it's name, cos there's loads of things that are called things they arent, haha.

[Bells]

I'd say it's a cake because of it's name, and it seems cakey.
A couple of us were having the same kind of talk the other day, but about Rice Krispie cakes! I mean yeah, they're not cakes, but we still call them cakes. It's just what we're used to. But it doesn't necessarily have to be a cake...you just...call it a cake.
I think I know what I mean.

[Lauren]

Why would you dunk a cake in your tea/coffee?

CASE CLOSED Haha

[Bells]

Do people actually do that?
I don’t…
