The court was adjudicated by Mr Donald Potter QC, who found in favour of McVitie's and ruled that whilst Jaffa Cakes had characteristics of both cakes and biscuits, the product should be considered a cake and not a biscuit, meaning that VAT is not paid on Jaffa Cakes in the United Kingdom.[16][22][23]

In 2021, artificially intelligent binary classifiers "usually used in the field of astronomy" were trained on 92 traditional recipes of cakes and biscuits and determined Jaffa Cakes to be cakes.[25]

The slop machine and legal nerds says its a cake, thus its a biscuit.

    But "koekje" means "little cake," so maybe it's both? 🤔

    If the only options are "cookie" and "biscuit" I'd say "cookie".

    Title changed, I guess it's "cake". Biscuits in burgerland are different, I would probably say "slop" or honestly "mass produced confection" if somebody asked me out of the blue to classify this.

    Please remove your rude and unnecessary comment that says I got the title wrong. I never got the title wrong and anyone who says otherwise is jealous of my skateboarding skills.

    I'm asking the mods to put it the log that I am NOT mad but I am still reporting this comment for misinformation.

    This is a cookie. Why would you call this a cake. It's not like you're gonna cut slices out of it.
