There has long been a discussion about whether a Jaffa cake is a cake or a biscuit ? Personally I say,a Jaffa cake is a cake . … it’s a cake ! A biscuit A biscuit is added to fill the gap xxx A biscuit that’s hard but then goes soft …where as a cake is soft but then goes hard…..

That sounds quite interesting, and it would be great to see some pictures of the cake or cookie being described. I enjoy both cake and cookies, and I’m sure they are delicious to eat.

A jafffa cake is called cake so I would think it is cake.

Jaffa are classified as cakes and not biscuits. They are on the borderline between cakes and biscuits, but they are cakes.

The hard then soft versus soft then hard thing is actually a solid argument... never thought about it that way. Team cake for me tho, i just cant see a biscuit having that spongy base. ngl
