What is the legal difference between a cake and a biscuit?
a british definition please
Answers:
This is American, but I would say that it's obviously because a cake is fluffier and sweeter while a biscuit is thicker. If you want to create your own definition, try to eat a piece of cake instead of a biscuit with your next turkey and gravy dinner, and put some icing on a biscuit for your next birthday. The tastes alone will help you figure it out. :-)
since when was food a matter of law?
will one of them sue?
I think a cake goes hard when left out and a biscuit goes soft!
Firstly :
Cake : Small flat mass of chopped food,Made from or based on a mixture of flour and sugar and eggs
Biscuit : Small round bread leavened with baking-powder or soda,Any of various small flat sweet cakes ('biscuit' is the British term).
Secondly
The synonym of a cake is bar,coat,patty where as the synonym biscuit is of cookie,cooky.
Thirdly
A biscuit is a type of food. The exact meaning varies in different parts of the world. The origin of the word biscuit is from a Middle French word meaning "twice cooked".
But
A cake is a form of food, usually sweet, often baked . Cakes normally combine some kind of flour, a sweetening agent (commonly sugar), a binding agent (generally egg, though gluten or starch are often used by vegetarians and vegans), shortening (usually butter or margarine, although a fruit puree can be substituted to avoid fats), a liquid (milk, water or fruit juice), flavours and some form of leavening agent (such as yeast or baking powder).
Bisquits have more gluten in the flour then cake, and they are usually made with less sugar.
