Behind The Beauty

The debate has ended: This Jaffa Cake IS definitely a cake.

Love them or loathe them, the Mc Vitie’s Jaffa Cake has been the subject of the tea-break debate: ‘cake or biscuit?’ for decades.

Despite winning a court battle in 1991 to have their Jaffa Cakes officially given the cake title, many people still claim the Jaffa Cake has all the makings of a biscuit.

This week the firm have finally decided to put the debate to rest by revealing  ‘The Big One’ - a cake-sized version of the Jaffa Cake which can be found in Asda and Morrisons from this week.

A McVitie's spokesman said: "We have been experimenting and tweaking the Big One recipe for a number of years now. We needed to ensure the sensation of eating the larger Jaffa Cake is similar to the smaller Jaffa Cake so all of our more hardcore fans will enjoy it as much as new Jaffa fans.”
