Are Jaffa cakes, cakes or biscuits? ๐Ÿ˜

Cakes.

Although I accept them here as they're in the biscuit aisle.

They are, in fact, biscuits. They are cooked twice, baked then dried.

But they're also cakes. It's like a dried cake. Biscuit cake.

They're cakes, as ruled on by the courts in the case of McVities Biscuits vs HM Revenue and Customs (1991).

Came here to shit post Jaffa cakes, but you beat me to it! Well done! (For those not in the know, there was a long legal arguement about whether or not Jaffa cakes were cakes or biscuits. I think it was something to do with VAT - UK sales tax)
