Angel cake primarily eaten by its creator? (6)
I believe the answer is:
backer
'angel' is the definition.
(angel can mean a financial backer)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for backer that I've seen before include "Patron or supporter" , "Financial supporter" , "'Supporter, usually provides finance (6)'" , "A supporter or a betting man" , "Person supporting another financially" .)
