Carry around recipe tip for cake (5)
I believe the answer is:
torte
'cake' is the definition.
(torte is a kind of cake)
'carry around recipe tip' is the wordplay.
'carry' becomes 'tote' (toting is a kind of carrying).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'recipe tip' becomes 'r' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'tote' going around 'r' is 'TORTE'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for torte that I've seen before include "(Austrian) cake with cream and fruit or nuts" , "Rich sweet cake" , "Sweet cake or tart" , "Rich food" , "Rich (Austrian) cake or pastry" .)
