Best sellers concealed in oak chest? (3,5)

I believe the answer is:

hot cakes

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'best sellers' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'concealed in oak chest?' is the wordplay.
'concealed in' is an anagram indicator.
'oak'+'chest'='oakchest'
'oakchest' with letters rearranged gives 'HOT CAKES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for hot cakes that I've seen is " They disappear quickly!".)
