Last of alcohol to be put into hot cake (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stollen

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

'cake' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'last of alcohol to be put into hot' is the wordplay.
'last of alcohol' becomes 'l' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'to be put into' is an insertion indicator.
'hot' becomes 'stolen' (I've seen this before).
'l' placed within 'stolen' is 'STOLLEN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stollen that I've seen before include "Rich German fruit and nut loaf" , "German bread" , "Traditional German cake for Christmas" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
