The age old debate, this forum is the final battlefield. Discuss. If you dare.
I say its a biscuit, just because its called a cake doesnt meant it is one. It doesnt coming in individual wrapping and is the same size as a typical biscuit, it also has the low density of biscuit.
Is the Jaffa Cake a cake or a biscuit?

A cake. It's soft, like a cake. Biscuits aren't soft unless they're stale.

"...the tribunal concluded thatm while the productr had some of the chracteristics of biscuits or confectionery, it had sufficent cake characteristics to be a cake."
i also believe that a jaffa cake has above 12% moisture, therefore by many companies certified it to be a cake.
but then ask yourself this question:
Is the orange bit in the middle jelly or jam?"
....the debate continues....

Google is your enemy. It's a part of a world wide conspircy to turn a biscuit into a cake.

Im going to go out on a limb here, and call it a pie.
EDIT: on second though, from my research, and the user testimonials it looks like an eclair. which is basically a pie.. maybe. I don't know.. In closing..... Crazy Brits.

Ummm the hunter, that image doesn't look at all tasty. yea, pretty sure thost are only in British Land, Kinda like Beef Jerky isn't made there, at least I don't think so.

We got Beef Jerky quite recently, I dont think us Brits liked it that much tho cause it hasnt been back on the shelves for a while now! I did like the stuff when we were over in the US, good stuff, that and the weather seem to be the only thing going for the place!

Looks more like a cookie than anything, but you say thats a sponge? Sponge = cake as far as I'm concerned.

Dustbunny, dont you live in the US.. We most assuredly have beef jerky here! Usually "Pemican" brand, or "Oh Boy" Oberto. I live in the woods, and have made my own jerky before.. it is a lot harder than it seems... so.. I kinda want some Jaffa Cake too. I think I'll settle for A table Talk Pie

Uh, the swedish biskvis (which I have had) are filled with butter-creme (what the hell is sm?rkr?m in english?)... yellow, gooey, sugary stuff.

@ Hunter - Haha, good god, I highly doubt (and hope..) that it isn't treacle. That would just be revolting. ;D
Also I stand firmly on the side of it being a cake. It has cake in its name, it also it soft and spongey.

Agreed. You're the man.
ZL: imagine that, but with... stiff marmalade in. Rather like thick orange jam, or thin jelly.
