I don’t…

Some people dunk jaffa cakes in their tea/coffee So they must be a biscuit cos it would be silly dunking a cake in there

But I dont dunk anything in mine... ewww crumbs.

[Sticks]

They are deemed cakes, because that was the finding of the VAT Excise tribunal in 1991 in the case of HM Customs and Excise versus McVitties.

What weirdo would dunk their jaffa cake in tea? Jaffa cakes are cakes dammit - they do not have the texture of a biscuit - it doesnt matter if they are in the shape of a biscuit they are just not theyre even called Jaffa CAKES NOT Jaffa BISCUIT. Get it?

[Lauren]

Haha, they dont have the texture of a cake at all
They're all crumbly like a biscuit. You can't have a SLICE of a jaffa cake, can you?
Therefore, biscuit

[xGemmax]

Nope sorry they might not have the EXACT texture of a cake but they are still more cake like than biscuit like. When you break a biscuit in half it snaps but if you break a jaffa cake it doesnt snap - it does more what a cake would do just crumbles

[Lauren]

The bottom half of it crumbles... the crumbly half of it. It's only held together "like" a cake cos of the orange jelly stuff - Since when have you had a cake thats had orange jelly in it?

Jaffa cake doesnt crumble though. It has a cakey texture aswell. with jaffa. Hense 'jaffa' 'cake'

People are forgetting that cake and biscuit arent just names they are actual genres of food, if you like.
A biscuit is a genre where it crumbles, and is actually made of ingredients of a BISCUIT. Not just something you dunk in tea.

Cake is a cakey, spongey centre and is made of ingredience of a cake. Not just something you slice and put candles on.

The name says 'cake' and the company have said its a 'cake' like Sticks explained.

*breathes*

Legally it's a cake...

Scientifically it's a biscuit

(Pmsl! HOW SA The article attempted to classify biscuits via a scientific analysis of various features (size, shape, filling etc.) and determined that the Jaffa Cake should be regarded as a biscuit, or 'pseudobiscuit'.)

[Chrizzle]

But its just NOT a biscuit.
A biscuit is a Bourbon, crumbly, hard..

Jaffa CAKE is a cake.
This is stressing me out

[xGemmax]

No, scientifically its a cake as it has the ingriedients of a cake

How can you possibly standardise the ingredients of a cake? All the ingredients are different

[Diablo]

I call them biscuits cos I can eat about 3 or 4 of them with a cup of tea.. I can't eat 3 or 4 cakes at one time, (donuts, victoria sponge etc..)

They are in the biscuit section in the shops, cakes are in the bakery section

[Siouxsie]

i hate them
