Jaffa Cakes are classed as cakes for the purposes of taxation, but due to their size and high number per packaging, shops generally stock them within the biscuit section.

A Jaffa Cake is a popular type of snack sold under a number of different brands, the market leader being McVitie's (United Biscuits). In the United Kingdom, Jaffa Cakes are classed as cakes for the purposes of taxation, but due to their size and high number per packaging

Its a cake... the french word for biscuit apparently means baked twice, which a lovely jaffa cake definitely isn't.

A Jaffa Cake is a cake because it's made predominantly of sponge.
Besides, they are called Jaffa CAKES, not Jaffa Biscuits! :P

A cake, it contains enough sponge to be exempt from VAT in the UK. Biscuits like Digestives are classed as confectionary though.
In reality the definitions of cake and biscuit overlap somewhat.

it is soft sponge, therefore clearly a cake. people who think they are biscuits are confused by their size. they may also mistake biscuits for crackers. A cheese test is in order methinks!
