I had no clue as to what a "Jaffa cake" was so I did a bit of research and found this answer for you, vorlon24.
Even the British government has become embroiled in this web of snack-related intrigue. At present the Jaffa Cake is classified as a cake but the British government is attempting to get it reclassified as a biscuit. This would mean it would come under a higher tax bracket as biscuits aren't as perishable as cakes, or something technical like that.
With that being the case, it would seem certain that your Jaffa cakes will eventually wind up as a biscuit.
