Is jaffa cake a cake or a biscuit?

[scorpbby]

I say biscuit cos its found in the biscuit isle.my fella says cake cos it has a sponge base...

what does everyone else think?

It's a cake until it goes stale, then it's a biscuit. I can say this for sure because I've been downing those things by the packet load daily since 2002 :P

it has the shape of a biscuit so for me it's a biscuit

I think that a Jaffa cake is a cake because manufacturers don’t have to pay tax on cakes and they don’t for Jaffa cakes, it’s definitely not a biscuit as a biscuit is usually a hard base and Jaffa cakes don’t have this.
