It’s proven in a court of law that a Jaffa cake is in fact a cake and not a biscuit.

HMRC v McVities 1991

The company argued that their Jaffa Cakes were cakes because are more like cakes than biscuits because cakes harden when they go stale, and biscuits go soggy, a Jaffa Cake indeed goes hard and their case was proven to be successful. The judge ruled in favour of McVities and concluded that Jaffas were indeed cakes!

McVities even baked a giant Jaffa Cake to prove their point, iirc.

If we're going by "traditional" cakes and not desserts:

1. Fruit Cake
2. Chocolate Sponge
3. Carrot
4. Red Velvet
5. Victoria Sponge

If we're including desserts then obviously cheesecake would be in there

I worked in the courts for years. Judges continually come up with stupid idiotic rulings. Remember this is the same gene pool from which we get our politicians. These are the people who believed Oscar Pistorius and found him not guilty.
In fact if you go into a court room in the UK, you'll see a person sitting in front of the judge, whose job it is to tell the judge when he's being stupid.
They had obviously popped to the toilet when the judge made this howler. Otherwise he would have leaned over and asked the judge, do you have a slice of Jaffa cake? Do you eat it with a fork on a plate? Do you keep them in the biscuit barrell or cake tin. It's a biscuit that contains some cake. You would call a marathon a bag of nuts would you?

It's not an idiotic ruling and the whole purpose of the court case was to prove they're cakes in order to be exempt from VAT.

And what sort of a madman keeps Jaffa Cakes in a biscuit tin? (I personally eat mine a packet at a time straight from the fridge)
 
Anything my daughter bakes
Chocolate fudge
Lemon drizzle
Fruit cake (any but Xmas cake in this category obviously)
Victoria sponge

That order might change depending on my mood at the time, probably not my daughter's cakes though 😉
