Something sweet I pulled out of a sticky pie before cooking (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
tipsy cake
'something sweet' is the definition.
'i pulled out of a sticky pie before cooking' is the wordplay.
'pulled out of' is a deletion indicator.
'before cooking' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'sticky'+'pie'='astickypie'
'astickypie' with 'i' removed is 'astckypie'.
'astckypie' with letters rearranged gives 'TIPSY-CAKE'.
(Other definitions for tipsy cake that I've seen before include "Dessert of pastry, almonds and wine" , "Trifle with white wine or sherry" , "Pudding" , "Trifle with alcohol, almonds and crystallised fruit" , "sweet" .)
