Kind of baked sponge — icky paste (anag) (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tipsy cake

(Other definitions for tipsy cake that I've seen before include "Trifle with white wine or sherry" , "Dessert of sponge soaked with wine or spirits" , "Trifle with alcohol, almonds and crystallised fruit" , "Dessert of pastry, almonds and wine" , "sweet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
