I have heard this question is used in job interviews to "surprise" the applicant....are you attending a job interview and want to be prepared ? hmm....
or of course the legal case of McVities vs the EU over money as cake or biscuit description is worth a lot of money (to McVities)
well, I have prepared myself and careful taste testing I am pleased to confirm these are cakes...
the majority of the jaffa cake is sponge, not biscuit, er, like a biscuit is.
case solved sherlock holmes.
"Time for a Jaffa Cake Holmes" asked Doctor Watson while leering at young Lady Bounty Bar and her delightful sister Lady Milk Way from Lapland.
"Yes Watson, time for tiffin" replied Holmes in a enginmatic flourish.
"Steady on Holmes, let the young girls have their tea and Jaffa cakes first, plenty of time for tiffin later" chortled a very excited and horny Doctor Watson.
Both girls laughed politely as they adjusted their baps.

They're quite spongy, so I'd say biscuit-shaped cakes. But eaten like biscuits. But they're really cakes impersonating biscuits in a scurrilous fashion.
All rather confusing really.

I call them a biscuit (for the Americans, that is a cookie). I think I class them as that because they have a crunch. A cake is soft.

they are classified as a biscuit, and are found in teh biscuit aisle - it did cause debate for vat purposes, as cakes have vat charged and biscuits don't. Mcvities won, and got them rated as biscuits - therefore an essential!
I think they are more cake than biscuit though.
Who cares! they are the best!

look at what they do when they go old, a cake goes hard and crunchy and biscuits go all soft and manky. Jaffa cakes go hard and are therfore cakes

The box says Cakes. Small cakes? The Dutch have a word for it - koekies. From which the word cookies comes from.

i think cake because it gets harder as it goes stale, biscuits go soggy..........the tax man takes an interest in this as a cake is a luxury and a biscuit isn't ...........i think ,not too sure about that but it would add 17.5% to the price it it were so.
