It is one of the most iconic British snacks to exist, a biscuit-sized cake first introduced by McVitie's in 1927 - a small circular sponge base, layered with glorious orange flavoured jam and coated on top with chocolate.
The Jaffa Cake has long been rooted in history and boasted success as one of the staple snacks to have in our biscuit jar or even cupboard. As a result - cookbooks, chefs and even philosophers have weighed into the debate of what makes it so great, with supermarkets even trying to replicate the success with their own attempts.
Lovers of the treat will know the controversial history and origins of debate when McVitie's was taken to court over its classification of the Jaffa Cake as a cake to avoid VAT on chocolate-covered biscuits. They even produced a giant version to illustrate their argument.
