Present caught rabbit cake (7,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

currant bun

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

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

'present caught rabbit' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'caught' could be 'ran' (running is a kind of catching) and 'ran' is located in the answer.
'rabbit' could be 'bun' and 'bun' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'curt' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for currant bun that I've seen is " Small cake containing dried fruit".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
