Somehow blame Nellie's peach dessert? (5)

I believe the answer is:

melba

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

'nellie's peach dessert?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'somehow blame' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates anagramming the letters.
'blame' anagrammed gives 'MELBA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for melba that I've seen before include "Dame Nellie --, Australian soprano" , "singer from down under" , "great soprano" , "Dame Nellie --; peach --" , "Famous soprano" .)
