Cake making woman scrounge (8,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

victoria sponge

'cake' is the definition.
(type of cake)

'woman scrounge' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'victoria' ().
'scrounge' becomes 'sponge' (I've seen this before).
'victoria'+'sponge'='VICTORIA SPONGE'

'making' acts as a link.

(Another definition for victoria sponge that I've seen is " cake".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
