McVitie's Jaffa Cakes Pole, 488g

Product Information

It’s the greatest outrage in food since the horsemeat scandal of 2013. In case you missed it, research was published this week claiming that the Jaffa Cake is the most dunkable biscuit.

Jaffa Cakes This recipe lightens up Jaffa Cakes so you can indulge in a slimming-friendly version whether you are calorie counting, or following a plan like Weight Watchers. I’ll deal with the latter point first. That a Jaffa Cake is not a biscuit is rather suggested by its name. And also by law. In 1991, its creator McVitie’s successfully argued – in an epic battle with Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs – that the JC, invented in 1927, was a cake and thus not subject to VAT. Sift in the flour and fold everything together with the orange juice and zest using a metal spoon. Use a spatula to scrape the batter into the frying pan. Level the batter off, then bake in the centre of the oven for 20-25 minutes, until risen and golden and a skewer comes out clean when pushed into the centre of the cake.

It's important to use the lower cocoa solids chocolate because stronger chocolate will overwhelm the orange flavours. So what’s with the ‘cake’ definition? Well, the base argument is this… Although they might look like and be marketed as biscuits, Jaffa Cakes are actually baked with a Genoise Sponge… That’s a cake mix right?
