Is it a cake or a biscuit? The debate rages on despite an official tribunal ruling over a decade ago that the Jaffa Cake is indeed a cake (and therefore zero-rated for VAT).
But hold on a minute, someone’s only gone and bottled it.
VC2, parent company of various Scottish drinks brands including Stiffys Vodka Drink, describes its bright orange Stiffys Jaffa Cake flavoured vodka drink as “capturing the brilliantly fragrant and distinctive flavour of Jaffa Cakes to give the drink a smack of tangy orange and the lip licking aftertaste of dark chocolate”. Mmmmm! Make mine a large slice please.
With an abv of 20%, the drink is a mixer which can also be served straight but is apparently at its best when used to create long drinks and cocktails.
And if that’s not enough for those Jaffa Cake addicts out there, you can make your very own ‘Jaffa Cake’ cake by following Nigella Lawson’s recipe.
