From the 1991 tax case..
McVitie's argued that Jaffa Cakes are cakes because they have a sponge-like texture, harden when stale, and are made from a thin batter of egg, flour, and sugar, similar to cake batter. To demonstrate their point, McVitie's even baked a giant Jaffa Cake for the court case. The tribunal ruled in McVitie's favor, and Jaffa Cakes are now considered cakes for tax purposes and are exempt from VAT.
In this case, the cake was not a lie.

“Many, many families have been destroyed by this disagreement.” Man’s speaking from experience😂

[FantasmagoriaAhoy]

Jaffa Cakes went to court with a giant Jaffa Cake to prove it was a cake.

Tariffs are higher for luxury biscuits than for cakes.

As an American, I adored Jaffa cakes on my trip to the U.K.

[hollykinslow]

Why MUST we label it?? Just call it Jolly Good! And get on with life! 😂❤

[Jeni]

It’s called Jaffa Cake because of the sponge under the jelly. Savoiardi sponge fingers are the same. Ever had Tiramisu? Savoiardis are used for the cake base. They look like biscuits because they’re dry sponge, but the become cake when moistened. Biscuits do not, they collapse.

That "urinal cake" comparison sounds like something someone who's SERIOUSLY baked would say 😂😂😂

[dfuetwr]

Fun fact: in french we call Jaffa cakes "pims", which made for funny misunderstandings when I was living in the UK 😂

[allyndeimos]

Cheesecake is a pie. Sometimes the english language forgets what its own words mean!

[Darroc]

Meanwhile in Murica'.... it's a cookie.

[saranghaejazzmin]

I think NYCs black n white cookie is like a jaffa cake in that it shares cookie and cake qualities

[coleensakamoto]

I LOVE Jaffa Cakes. Very hard to find in the U.S. 😪

[FrailCaesar]

When cake goes stale they go hard, when biscuits go stale they go soft. Jaffa cakes go hard, therfore its a cake.

[tomking]

I was born in Europe in 1977 and I grew up eating these. They are so so good. One of my favorites for sure

[jakatak]

I wish we had jaffa cakes here in the states. I tried them once and they are delicious

[lineagewarrior]

Yep. This argument has happened many times. No one ever wins. 😭

Honeydew from the Yogscast is finding your location

[alliona]

a biscuit is something that you can break apart with a snap and has a crumble biscut base.

a jaffa cake is basically a small cake.

[MindDiet]

Ollie mentions a psychopath seconds after Josh is filmed looking like he is ready to stab him... That got me right away

[elmerileinonen]

In Finland they are called biscuits, fun fact: we also have over 10 different Jaffa cake flavours such as raspberry, lime, tuttifrutti and coca cola
