Take to good cake counter... (4)
I believe the answer is:
grab
'take' is the definition.
(grabbing is a kind of taking)
'good cake counter' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'cake' becomes 'bar' (synonyms).
'counter' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'bar' reversed gives 'rab'.
'g'+'rab'='GRAB'
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for grab that I've seen before include "Seize suddenly" , "Seize roughly" , "interest" , "Brag about seizure" , "Catch hold (of)" .)
