Pineapple Jaffa Cakes are not something I ever imagined would be a thing. Normally McVitie’s stay within the safe realms of flavours such as lemon-lime, or strawberry, but they have put on their tropical hat and given us these funky pineapple cakes or biscuits (depending on which side of the fence you are?).

Dividing opinions

Remove from oven and cool completely before cutting into squares—store leftovers in an airtight container. Jaffa Cake Fillings: The combination of dark chocolate and pineapple has long proven to be generous so there’s no reason for these Jaffa Cakes to fall so short. I actually think what has happened is the new launch has moved me to suppose the treat overall is a bit of a waste of time. I know I said but moments ago I would accept one or two were they offered, and that stands. Jaffa Cakes are much easier to make than you’d think. The jelly (adding boiling water to jelly/jello cubes) is child’s play…Making the sponge is an easy whisk-and-bake job… And all the chocolate needs is to be carefully melted and spread on the top. Okay… the chocolate can be a bit messy, but who cares what they look like?

Sit one jelly disc on top of each cake. So what’s with the ‘cake’ definition? Well, the base argument is this… Although they might look like and be marketed as biscuits, Jaffa Cakes are actually baked with a Genoise Sponge… That’s a cake mix right? And the texture is that of a sponge cake, which (unlike a biscuit) goes harder as it stales.I have to say these Pineapple Jaffa Cakes are a win, and the best limited editions version McVitie’s have done. Easily polished off, they are a nice addition to the Jaffa Cakefamily. The court was adjudicated by Mr Donald Potter QC, who found in favour of McVitie's and ruled that whilst Jaffa Cakes had characteristics of both cakes and biscuits, the product should be considered a cake and not a biscuit, meaning that VAT is not paid on Jaffa Cakes in the United Kingdom. [16] [22] [23] There are many other ingredients you might come across when searching online for Jaffa cakes recipes. Note: You can also substitute the flour + xanthan + baking powder with a commercial self-raising flour that contains all three elements (eg Doves Freee). For the topping:

When it comes to the Genoise sponge whisking is key! Don’t cut corners here… It’s essential that you whisk the eggs and sugar until the batter forms a lasting trail of mixture across the surface (that remains visible for a few seconds) when the whisk is lifted.The origins of the Jaffa Cake lie with its Scottish biscuit maker,McVitie& Price, Ltd., which was established in 1839 on Rose Street in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Yes! Pineapple is one of the most popular fruits globally, so it’s no surprise that it appears on many different types of food. The truth is that Jaffa cakes aren’t exactly known for being healthy. But, if you do make the switch, you could still enjoy some delicious treats without worrying about any adverse side effects. In the United Kingdom, value added tax is payable on chocolate-covered biscuits, but not on chocolate-covered cakes. [16] [17] McVities defended its classification of Jaffa Cakes as cakes at a VAT tribunal in 1991, against the ruling that Jaffa cakes were biscuits due to their size and shape, and the fact that they were often eaten in place of biscuits. [18] McVities insisted that the product was a cake, and produced a giant Jaffa Cake in court to illustrate its point. [18] The court found in favour of McVitie’s and stated that, legally, Jaffa Cakes are considered a cake, which means that McVitie’s doesn’t have to pay VAT on Jaffa Cakes in the UK.
