chairdriver Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 They go hard when they are left in open air, therefore they are cakes. And I don't get why people are so obsessed with this question. It was already settled in a lawsuit that they are bona fide cakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 They're spongy. So they're cakes. Biscuits are...well....biscuity and crumbly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domstercool Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Biscuits go soft, cakes go hard, hence Jaffa is a cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowV7 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Would off said a cake, biscuits are hard and crack when you bite into them but Jaffa Cakes are spongy as said before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cube Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 But where do you find them in the supermarket? IN THE BISCUIT AISLE! You find them in the aisle for biscuits, chocolate bars (packs) and small cakes (packs). Next people will be saying that Cadbury's Mini Rolls are biscuits.

Dante Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Jaffa Cakes are cakes. Under UK law, no VAT is charged on biscuits and cakes — they are "zero rated". Chocolate covered biscuits, however, are subject to VAT at 17.5%. McVities classed its Jaffa Cakes as cakes, but in 1991, this was challenged by Her Majesty's Customs and Excise and the case ended up before the courts.This may have been because Jaffa Cakes are about the same size and shape as some types of biscuit. A question that the court asked itself was "what criteria should be used to class something as a cake?" McVities defended its classification of Jaffa Cakes as cakes. In doing so it produced a giant Jaffa Cake to illustrate that its Jaffa Cakes were simply mini cakes. McVities argued that a distinction between cakes and biscuits is, inter alia, that biscuits would normally be expected to go soft when stale, whereas cakes would normally be expected to go hard. It was demonstrated to the Tribunal that Jaffa Cakes become hard when stale. Other factors taken into account by the Chairman, Mr Potter QC, included: name; ingredients; texture; size; packaging; marketing; presentation; appeal to children; manufacturing process. Contrary to a commonly held belief, whether something is considered a 'luxury item' is not a test for VAT purposes. Mr Potter ruled that the Jaffa Cake is a cake. He further ruled that, if it is relevant, it is not a biscuit. McVities therefore won the case and VAT is not paid on Jaffa Cakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
