Obviously cakesI believe that they went to great effort to prove that they were cakes. The tax authority tried to class them as biscuits so they could have VAT attached to them - cakes were exempt from VAT and biscuits did have VAT. So the company baked a huge one to show that they were cakes.

Clearly biscuitsNow this is controversial! I would have to call it a biscuit because of its size.Scope

Obviously cakesThey identify as cakes! This isn't a PIP assessment, we don't have to make assumptions based on their visible size and shape...
They're made of Genoise sponge for any bakers on here! It's a fatless sponge (yes sponge, definitely not biscuit!) where you fold whisked egg-white into it to provide volume, rather than adding baking powder or the like. They're surprisingly low calorie, so a good alternative to biscuits if you're trying to cut down. Unless you eat the whole pack of course!
