Jaffa cakes
Orange-centered British treats
Jaffa cakes are British biscuit-sized treats consisting of a sponge base topped with orange-flavored jelly and coated in dark chocolate.
Named after Jaffa oranges, they occupy a peculiar legal position: officially classified as cakes rather than biscuits for tax purposes, since they harden when stale rather than soften.
I could eat a whole packet of Jaffa cakes.
