Jaffa cakes are identified as biscuits in my supermarket. But are they cakes? And if they are biscuits then is the dunking of Jaffa cakes in tea acceptable?

😂

Turgid Loam cake is hugely underrated.

See also Moist Crumb.

I've also read the phrase 'leftover roast potatoes'. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Jaffa cakes are abos (assigned biscuit on shelf(shelf id?)) but went to court and got a crc (cake recognition certificate) like tea cakes (no cake without the tea) but not tea cakes that, I think, are a fruity bread roll.

Shelf id! So no dunking with a crc.

Yeah that's as likely as left over Yorkshire puddings and left over gravy.

As if that's ever happened in my house!

Oh I didn't realise you had an ology in cakes as well! You truly are the font of all cake related knowledge although your questioning on the standing of Apple cake makes me wonder if you acquired your ology by nefarious means. I mean who puts Apple's in a cake? That's not an actual thing. Is it?

(Poor Nancy she'll be checking out the social media etc on her news and is going to be so disappointed when she gets to mumsnet!)

Whether they're biscuits or cakes, they're still sinful. In fact, I'd add anything chocolate orange flavoured to the pyre.

I feel very sad, because I've just started a keto diet, because of high blood pressure and being a fat knacker.

You are all torturing me with talk and pictures of lovely cakes.

sniff

I mean who puts Apple's in a cake?

There's a traditional variant on Welsh cakes where you put in grated apple instead of currants (cheaper, what with apples being grown locally, unlike grapes).

Speaking of Welsh cakes, anyone who ever visits Cardiff, go to Bakestones in the indoor market. Drool!

I am in similar situation... it's fine.... go and look at Nigella's olive oil chocolate cake with almond meal. It ought to come with 'evil' written on it, tis fantastic.

I think somewhere has opened in Saundersfoot that's riffing on Welsh cakes. I'm off to Pembrokeshire soon, and I'm going to check it out. And graffiti some pebbles.

And I'm off to Cornwall, where I will be searching out saffron buns.

Ooh, would you consider having a cornish split for me?

Your bowl obviously isn't big enough.

Be pleased to. Might even post a photo.

Have a lovely time 😁

😂

Just find some celery that identifies as cake - job done. After all that's exactly the same thing...

All this talk of "too much cream" and "leftover "wine, yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes - come on!

We're gender critical here - that means we don't believe fairy stories.

(Honestly - some people must just think our heids button up the back or summit 🙄)

I used to volunteer at a garden tea room on the odd Sunday and I since I am no longer bound by their code of confidentiality I can reveal that lemon drizzle was always the first cake to sell out. And also that some people were very demanding and forward in asking for the extra crusty drizzled bits. Especially if they fell off the cake slice but they considered them part of their portion.

How about cake that identifies as celery? Or, it's not for me, but < blergh> carrot cake is carrot.

And also that some people were very demanding and forward in asking for the extra crusty drizzled bits. Especially if they fell off the cake slice but they considered them part of their portion.

Damn right they're part of my portion.

LEMON DRIZZLE IS THE BEST CAKE!

(Coffee and walnut is pretty good ,too)

In the aforementioned garden tea room we used to celebrate apple day every autumn , and the tradition was that each of the volunteers would bring in an apple themed cake. I have to say there were some stunners. One volunteer was German and used to bring a couple of amazing apple cakes in.

My own apple themed cake won first prize at our local town show, the Mayor ( judge) himself said it was the best cake he had ever eaten , and I think it is fair to say he had eaten a few in his time. I haven’t made it for a few years, because it is a complete faff, my go to cake these days is a lot simpler.
