It's an important topic that I discussed with my RE teacher and a few friends today. Are Jaffa Cakes true biscuits? Technically, yes. The reason they don't have Jaffa Biscuits is because if they did then they would have to pay a biscuit tax. I'm guessing you all think I'm making this up, but both my RE teacher and friends talked of this age old tax that was set upon Bourbons and Digestives. In my opinion, they're cakes, because they aren't crunchy. All biscuits I know of are crunchy, while the Jaffa Cake is softer, with a jelly centre.
However, in 1991 McVities defended the classification of "cake" due to the fact that it's ingredients were similar to one of a cakes. But, if you go into your local ASDA, Morrisons, Walmart, whatever, you'll find Jaffa CAKES in the biscuit aisle, and the fact that they are in the shape of a biscuit, not a cake.
The court favoured McVities argument for it being a cake and not a biscuit, I would've sided with them too. Because biscuits are crumbly, Jaffa Cakes are not.
So, are Jaffa Cakes real cakes?
Yes. Yes they are.
