City hideaway serving up cake (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eclair

'cake' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'city hideaway' is the wordplay.
'city' becomes 'ec' (the City of London postcode).
'hideaway' becomes 'lair' (I've seen this before).
'ec'+'lair'='ECLAIR'

'serving up' is the link.

(Other definitions for eclair that I've seen before include "Cake, "long in shape but short in duration"" , "Lacier (anag.)" , "Long chocolate cake for Claire" , "I clear off with thin chocolate cake" , "Choux pastry cream cake" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
