Scone -- it's cut to make slices (8)
I believe the answer is:
sections
'slices' is the definition.
(section is a kind of slice)
'scone it's cut' is the wordplay.
'cut' is an anagram indicator.
'scone'+'its'='sconeits'
'sconeits' with letters rearranged gives 'SECTIONS'.
'to make' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for sections that I've seen before include "Divisions, segments" , "Divisions, parts" .)
