Jaffas - an all time Aussie favourite!
Jaffas are a small, round sweet consisting of a solid, orange flavoured chocolate centre with a hard red coloured crunchy shell. The name derives from the Jaffa orange. Jaffas were launched onto the Australian and New Zealand markets in 1931.
Jaffa Cakes are a cake introduced by McVitie and Price in the UK in 1927 and named after Jaffa oranges. The most common form of Jaffa cakes are circular, 21⁄8 inches (54 mm) in diameter and have three layers: a Genoise sponge base, a layer of orange flavoured jam and a coating of chocolate. Each cake is 46 calories.
The traditional Jaffa cake is something of a British icon. Known as biscuits in Britain and called cookies in the United States, these treats have a layer of sponge topped with a sweet orange jelly and finished off with plain chocolate (semi-sweet chocolate).

Unfortunately, Jaffa Cakes aren't vegan. This is because they contain butter oils and dried egg, making it unsuitable for anyone following a plant-based diet. Most Jaffa-style cakes from supermarket brands are also unsuitable for vegans due to the use of eggs in the sponge base.
That's right, whether you nibble, bite or total-eclipse your Jaffa Cake, you are supposed to do it with the chocolate facing downwards!
