Drink what's left after pieces of cake? (3,4,5)
I believe the answer is:
the hard stuff
'left after pieces of cake?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'drink' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'drink' could be 'hard' (hard drink is a kind of drink) and 'hard' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'what's' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
