Product Information

The Jaffa Cake has a base of Genoise sponge, although it is often found in the biscuit aisle and its size is more akin to that of a biscuit than a cake. Abernethy, Laura (27 January 2020). "McVitie's launches new pineapple flavour Jaffa Cakes". Metro . Retrieved 7 March 2020.

Categorisation of Jaffa Cakes as a chocolate-covered cake rather than a chocolate-covered biscuit was the subject of a famous tribunal in 1991 after McVitie’s argued it was a cake and VAT therefore did not have to be paid on it. Most of my family members really like these Jaffa cakes, but one person who doesn’t care for other jelly-filled foods (like jelly-filled doughnuts) didn’t care for these as much. For those of us who like these, we preferred the raspberry flavor a little more than the orange flavor, but they’re both good. It’s a matter of personal taste and whether you like foods that are sweeter or foods that have a tart zing to them. The Irish Revenue Commissioners also regard Jaffa Cakes as cakes, since their moisture content is greater than 12%. As a result, they are charged the reduced rate of VAT (13.5% as of 2016 [update]).
