The clue is in the name. It's a cake because it has a layer of soft sponge cake in it.

A jaffa cake is defined as a cake.
It is all about how they go stale. Cakes get hard when left out. Biscuits go soft. Therefore a Jaffa cake is a cake (which is lucky as you pay more tax on chocolate biscuits!)

I had to look this one up, but I was curious of what the correct answer was, here is what I found...
Jaffa Cakes are 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, shops generally stock them within the biscuit section. The name is derived from Jaffa oranges.

It's true. A cake is classed as a necessity but a biscuit is classed as luxury goods. So as to avoid taxation, Jaffa Cakes are indeed a cake.

Jaffa cakes are classed as cakes by HM Revenue & Customs. The way to tell cakes and biscuits apart is that Biscuits go soft when they are stale and cakes go hard

A Jaffa cake is a cake.
A biscuit starts off crunchy and goes soft.
A cake starts off soft and goes hard!

Definitely a cake, reason: It's soft.
If a biscuit is soft it's stale

it has been called a cake because if it was classed a chocolate biscuit the manufactures would have to pay more tax. so it is purely financial that mcvities insist on calling it a cake
