While it does have the word 'cake' in its name, many are convinced it should be categorised as a biscuit, despite a 1991 lawsuit proving otherwise, as you normally have them as a biscuit with a cup of tea. But with the soft sponge and smooth chocolate that it's sandwiched together with the orange jam in the middle, it's clear why the treat is still so popular.‌Following the recent launch of Jaffa Cakes Digestives, fans may have thought nothing could beat it.
