Clear I cooked a rich dessert (6)
I believe the answer is:
eclair
'a rich dessert' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'clear i cooked' is the wordplay.
'cooked' indicates anagramming the letters.
'clear'+'i'='cleari'
'cleari' is an anagram of 'ECLAIR'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eclair that I've seen before include "Food" , "Chocolate-topped, cream-filled cake" , "Choux pastry cream cake" , "something at teatime?" , "Soft cream cake" .)
