Exotic wood featured in Cakes And Ale (6)
I believe the answer is:
sandal
'exotic wood' is the definition.
'sandal' can be an answer for 'wood' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'exotic' bit.
'featured in cakes and ale' is the wordplay.
'featured in' indicates a hidden word.
'SANDAL' can be found hidden inside 'cakes and ale'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sandal that I've seen before include "Type of footwear" , "Light footwear" , "Light strapped shoe" , "One can go on foot" , "Wood" .)
