I prove agnostic about cake (8,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

victoria sponge

'cake' is the definition.
(type of cake)

'i prove agnostic about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates an anagram.
'i'+'prove'+'agnostic'='iproveagnostic'
'iproveagnostic' anagrammed gives 'VICTORIA SPONGE'.

(Another definition for victoria sponge that I've seen is " cake".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
