Jaffa cake. Cake or Biscuit?!


Question:

Jaffa cake. Cake or Biscuit?


Answers:
Cake. Proven in a court case regarding tax, I believe.

They also argued that the distinction between cakes and biscuits is simply that cakes go hard when stale, whereas biscuits go soft. It was demonstrated that Jaffa Cakes become hard when stale and McVitie's won the case.

Biscuit, I guess.

=]

cake.

light biscuit

It's a cake, has sponge so can't be biscuit

Just Minging

its classed as a biscuit

it is a cake

the definition between a cake and biscuit is that a cake is soft when fresh and goes hard when stale, a biscuit is hard when fresh and goes soft when stale..

hence jaffa cake is a cake

and it was prooved in a court case, cos tax was put on luxury biscuits, ie biscuits with choclate on, but not on cakes, so they baked a huge jaffa cake and showed that it is sponge and also pointed out he hard/soft thing

cake, biscuits are crunchy!

cake - it has sponge.

cake.
jaffa cake kinda gives it away.....lol
but seriously, I've read about this somewhere before, its classed as a cake.

i would say cake, biscuits are sort of crunchy. Jaffa cakes are soft like a sponge cake.

haha! good question,

when u think of biscuit u think of something crunchy n preferably hard that crumbles
when you think of cake you think of a lovely desert full off your favourite treats in a round shape

so i guess you can say its a bit of both, right?!

Don't care I just eat them

its a cake! there is a big hint in the name ^ ^

Cake

Mcvities went to court to prove it as VAT is payable on biscuits but not cakes so they had to prove it is a cake.

This was done by Mcvities producing a giant Jaffa Cake and demonstrating in court that a biscuit goes soft when stale, but a cake goes hard - the Jaffa cake went hard so to this day we do not need to pay VAT on them.
