It has been legally proved in court that the Jaffa Cake really is a cake. McVities opened a packet of Jaffa Cakes and a packet of biscuits (maybe Hobnobs, the report didn't say whether they were the chocolate covered kind) and remanded them into the custody of the bailiff. When court convened a week later, the Jaffa cakes had gotten hard, proving they are actually cakes while, the biscuits (as they usually do when stale) got soft. I have to commend the bailiff for his great moral strength and sense of duty for not eating the Jaffa Cakes straightaway.
