Food for the sweet-toothed Lorelei? (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rock cake

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'food' is the definition.
(rock cake is a kind of food)

'the sweet-toothed lorelei?' is the wordplay.
'the sweet' becomes 'rock' (rock is a kind of sweet).
'toothed lorelei?' becomes 'cake' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'rock'+'cake'='ROCK-CAKE'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rock cake that I've seen before include "Rough-looking hard bun" , "Baked tooth-breaker?" .)
