It’s a biscuit but I understand why folks may go with cake on the hard/soft cake/biscuit freshness test.

How to tell the difference:

Biscuits go soft when they go off. Cake goes hard when it goes off.

And...Jaffa Cakes go hard.

Though Jaffa Cake confusion can indeed be caused by Jaffa Cakes being found in the biscuit aisle.

The Irish Revenue Commissioners also regard Jaffa cakes as cakes, since their moisture content is greater than 12%. As a result, they are charged the reduced rate of VAT (13.5% as of 2016).

It is a cake. There was a tribunal in 1991 to decide whether McVities is a biscuit or a cake (for tax purposes) and McVities made a cake sized Jaffa Cake to prove the point that someone posted above, which is that biscuits go soft when off but a cake goes hard.

Hmmm I don't care much for the legal case as you'll find plenty of decisions where rulings are made that don't quite match up with common sense/reality, especually some case law based on precedent which could be 60 years ago or more, and although I understand the decision, I still see them as biscuits.

Also, globally their definition will change. Biscuits in America are cookies, their biscuits are essentially scones/cakes.

I'm calling it a biscuit despite the ruling and the name, unless a biscuit cake is a biscuit now?

Also they're stocked beside the biscuits in every shop. So then general population sees them that way.

I never have until my perception was challenged here . I don't care too much tbh I'll just think of it as a biscuit myself.

It's a biscuit. If you sent someone to buy you a cake and they gave you jaffa cafe's you would not agree that was a cake

Lol. OK. So biscuits have to have a tiny crunch.. But cake MAY have crunch if it wants to, but it's not a prerequisite to bring a cake like it is for biscuits.

Anyone else think the cheap assed jaffa cakes in Tesco are far superior to the named brand? Jaffa goes all the way to the edge, and there is cake is a bit thinner, so you get a far better jaffa/sponge/chocolate ratio.
